摘要
We report on the experimental observation of bistability in a magneto-optical trap perturbed by a focalized laser beam. This bistability is theoretically interpreted by studing the atomic losses induced by the perturbing beam. Comparison with a Monte Carlo model allows us to deduce the trap capture velocity along the perturbing beam. © EDP Sciences Springer-Verlag 1998.
