We present a study on characteristics of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) as an optical lattice. Fluorescence spectra of atoms trapped in a MOT with a passively phase-stabilized beam configuration have been measured by means of the photon-counting heterodyne spectroscopy. We observe a narrow Rayleigh peak and well-resolved Raman sidebands in the fluorescence spectra which clearly show that the MOT itself behaves as a three-dimensional optical lattice. Optical-lattice-like properties of the phase-stabilized MOT such as vibrational frequencies and lineshapes of Rayleigh peak and Raman sidebands are investigated systematically for various trap conditions.

We report on the realization of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) for metastable strontium operating on the 2.92 $mu$m transition between the energy levels $5s5p~^3mathrm{P}_2$ and $5s4d~^3mathrm{D}_3$. The strontium atoms are initially captured in a MOT
operating on the 461 nm transition between the energy levels $5s^2~^1mathrm{S}_0$ and $5s5p~^1mathrm{P}_1$, prior to being transferred into the metastable MOT and cooled to a final temperature of 6 $mu$K. Challenges arising from aligning the mid-infrared and 461 nm light are mitigated by employing the same pyramid reflector to realize both MOTs. Finally, the 2.92 $mu$m transition is used to realize a full cooling sequence for an optical lattice clock, in which cold samples of $^{87}mathrm{Sr}$ are loaded into a magic-wavelength optical lattice and initialized in a spin-polarized state to allow high-precision spectroscopy of the $5s^2~^1mathrm{S}_0$ to $5s5p~^3mathrm{P}_0$ clock transition.
Atom Trap Trace Analysis (ATTA), a novel method based upon laser trapping and cooling, is used to count individual atoms of 41Ca present in biomedical samples with isotopic abundance levels between 10^-8 and 10^-10. ATTA is calibrated against Resonan
ce Ionization Mass Spectrometry, demonstrating a good agreement between the two methods. The present ATTA system has a counting efficiency of 2x10^-7. Within one hour of observation time, its 3-sigma detection limit on the isotopic abundance of 41Ca reaches 4.5x10^-10.
We study inelastic collisions between CaF molecules and $^{87}$Rb atoms in a dual-species magneto-optical trap. The presence of atoms increases the loss rate of molecules from the trap. By measuring the loss rates and density distributions, we determ
ine a collisional loss rate coefficient $k_{2} = (1.43 pm 0.29) times 10^{-10}$ cm$^{3}$/s at a temperature of 2.4 mK. We show that this is not substantially changed by light-induced collisions or by varying the populations of excited-state atoms and molecules. The observed loss rate is close to the universal rate expected in the presence of fast loss at short range, and can be explained by rotation-changing collisions in the ground electronic state.
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 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.
