Raman sideband cooling of rubidium atoms in optical lattice |
(color online) Many runs are taken to obtain statistics for the width of the cloud after different drop times. [(a), (b)] Temperature fits of PGC, [(c), (d)] temperature fits of sideband cooling. These are used to fit a temperature curve (solid red line) as well as determine the 90% confidence intervals on this fit (dashed red lines). |
