dc.description |
An experimental demonstration of the state-dependent nature of the forces exerted on an atom by resonant radiation is reported. Sodium atoms, which are contained in a highly collimated beam, are initially prepared in a particular ground hyperfine substate by optical pumping. They are then deflected by resonant laser radiation of known polarization. Measurements of the magnitude of the deflection show a dependence on the way the atoms were initially prepared, confirming the predictions of a recently developed theoretical model. The experimental data show good agreement with calculations of the theory using a full quantum electrodynamic description of the sodium transition involved. |
