Moreover, it has been recently demonstrated that high-finesse optical cavities can significantly enhance the performances of optical lattice clocks (through quantum nondemolition measurements and/or many-body entanglement). The strong coupling between the optical cavity and the atomic ensemble represents another complication in the cooling process.
We demonstrate a resolved Raman sideband cooling of an ensemble of 171Yb coupled to a high-finesse optical cavity, without the assistance of atomic collisions. The atomic temperature in the tightly binding direction reaches1.8±0.5μK with average vibration numbern= 0.2 in 200 ms, while that of the other direction remains 8μK. Such low temperature enables us to perform an optical Rabi π-pulse with transfer probability exceeding 93% on the ultranarrow optical clock transition.
We further notice atoms self-organize into locations with maximal atom-photon-interaction. This also maximizes the metrological improvement provided by the high-finesse optical cavity.
