Photon-mediated thermodynamics and density fluctuations in an ensemble of laser-cooled cesium atoms
We present an experimental study of detuning-dependent properties of a laser-cooled cesium cloud in a magneto-optical trap. Fluorescence images are used to extract the cloud size, shot-to-shot width fluctuations, optical depth, density profiles, and spatial density fluctuation spectra as the trapping laser detuning is...
