MIRROR-MEDIATED COOLING: A PARADIGM FOR PARTICLE COOLING VIA THE RETARDED DIPOLE FORCE
MIRROR-MEDIATED COOLING: A PARADIGM FOR PARTICLE COOLING VIA THE RETARDED DIPOLE FORCE
Cooling forces result from the retarded dipole interaction between an illuminated particle and its reflection.For a one-dimensional example, we find cooling times of milliseconds and limiting temperatures in the millikelvin range.The force, which may be considered the prototype for cavity-mediated cooling, may be enhanced by plasmon and geometric resonances at …
