Atom localization in a Doppler broadened medium via two standing-wave fields

The atom localization has been achieved in a four-level V-type atomic system interacting with two classical unidirectional standing-wave fields and weak probe field in a Doppler broadened medium under several conditions at very low temperature. The precision of the atom localization is compared with the system in the presence and absence of the Doppler broadened medium. The influence of some parameters such as the amplitude, wave vectors and the phase shift of the standing-wave fields on the atom localization is studied and has been found to obtain various atom localization patterns with symmetric shape.
