Controlling ultracold atomic collisions with light

Abstract

In the decade of seventies, soon after the appearance of the CO2 laser, researchers in atomic and chemical physics thought to use it as a tool to control inelastic and reactive collisions [1]. However, easily attempts towards this direction have failed. Laser cooled samples recreated this interest mainly due to unique characteristics of the sample, which can not be found in traditional atomic gas samples. We have demonstrated optical control of inelastic process by investigating two cases: photoassociative ionization (PAI) [2] and hyperfine changing collisions (HCC) [3].
