Abstract

This paper presents a novel method for achieving parametric excitation in an optical polarization-modulated magneto-optical trap for a two-level atom. The proposed method has a unique mechanism that is different from that of the existing methods, which modulate the laser intensity, magnetic field gradient, or laser detuning, because the excitation realized through the polarization modulation originates from the competition between the repulsive and attractive forces on a two-level atom. The theoretical calculation is based on the simple Doppler cooling theory, and we derive atomic motion in a rotating frame and coupled equation for motional amplitude and phase, in detail.
