摘要: We demonstrate an integrating sphere to cool $^{87}\rm Rb$ atoms and measure the recoil-induced resonance and electromagnetically induced absorption spectrum. We measure the relationship between their linewidth and light shift with variation of the detuning and power of the cooling laser and study the performance of the diffuse laser cooling mechanism by the absorption linewidth radio $\Delta\nu_{\rm E}/\Delta\nu_{\rm R}$ and light shift $\lvert{\varDelta_{\rm R}-\varDelta_{\rm E}}\rvert$ using nonlinear spectroscopy. Specifically, when $\Delta\nu_{\rm E}/\Delta\nu_{\rm R}$ reaches a value of 1.57, the temperature and number of cold atoms achieve the optimal cooling effect. This characterization of absorption linewidth and light shift will provide a method to estimate whether diffuse light cooling achieves the best cooling effect, contributing to the future development of isotropic laser cooling for application in quantum sensing.
