We demonstrate a Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT) configuration which employs optical forces due to light scattering between electronically excited states of the atom. With the standard MOT laser beams propagating along the {it x}- and {it y}- directions, the laser beams along the {it z}-direction are at a different wavelength that couples two sets of {it excited} states. We demonstrate efficient cooling and trapping of cesium atoms in a vapor cell and sub-Doppler cooling on both the red and blue sides of the two-photon resonance. The technique demonstrated in this work may have applications in background-free detection of trapped atoms, and in assisting laser-cooling and trapping of certain atomic species that require cooling lasers at inconvenient wavelengths.

We propose and demonstrate the laser cooling and trapping of Rydberg-dressed Sr atoms. By off-resonantly coupling the excited state of a narrow (7 kHz) cooling transition to a high-lying Rydberg state, we transfer Rydberg properties such as enhanced
electric polarizability to a stable magneto-optical trap operating at $< 1 mu K$. By increasing the density to $1 times 10^{12} rm{cm^{-3}}$, we show that it is possible to reach a regime where the long-range interaction between Rydberg-dressed atoms becomes comparable to the kinetic energy, opening a route to combining laser cooling with tunable long-range interactions.
A large number of $^{87}$Rb atoms (up to $1.5 times 10^{11}$) is confined and cooled to $sim 200~mu$K in a magneto-optical trap. The resulting cloud of atoms exhibits spatio-temporal instabilities leading to chaotic behaviour resembling a turbulent f
low of fluid. We apply the methods of the turbulence theory based on the structure functions analysis to classify and quantify the different degrees of excitation of turbulence, including its scaling and morphological properties in the moving cloud images.
We present a quantitative model for magneto-optical traps operating on narrow transitions, where the transition linewidth and the recoil shift are comparable. We combine a quantum treatment of the light scattering process with a Monte-Carlo simulatio
n of the atomic motion. By comparing our model to an experiment operating on the $5rm{s}^2~^1rm{S}_0 rightarrow 5rm{s}5rm{p}~^3rm{P}_1$ transition in strontium, we show that it quantitatively reproduces the cloud size, position, temperature and dynamics over a wide range of operating conditions, without any adjustable parameters. We also present an extension of the model that quantitatively reproduces the transfer of atoms into a far off-resonance dipole trap (FORT), highlighting its use as a tool for optimising complex cold atom experiments.
We report the first observation of a non-dipole transition in an ultra-cold atomic vapor. We excite the 3P-4P electric quadrupole (E2) transition in $^{23}$Na confined in a Magneto-Optical Trap(MOT), and demonstrate its application to high-resolution
spectroscopy by making the first measurement of the hyperfine structure of the 4P$_{1/2}$ level and extracting the magnetic dipole constant A $=$ 30.6 $pm$ 0.1 MHz. We use cw OODR (Optical-Optical Double Resonance) accompanied by photoinization to probe the transition.
We present the properties and advantages of a new magneto-optical trap (MOT) where blue-detuned light drives `type-II transitions that have dark ground states. Using $^{87}$Rb, we reach a radiation-pressure-limited density exceeding $10^{11}$cm$^{-3}
$ and a temperature below 30$mu$K. The phase-space density is higher than in normal atomic MOTs, and a million times higher than comparable red-detuned type-II MOTs, making it particularly attractive for molecular MOTs which rely on type-II transitions. The loss of atoms from the trap is dominated by ultracold collisions between Rb atoms. For typical trapping conditions, we measure a loss rate of $1.8(4)times10^{-10}$cm$^{3}$s$^{-1}$.
