Description:
Author(s): Matthew L. Terraciano, Spencer E. Olson, and Fredrik K. Fatemi We have observed time-varying spin relaxation of trapped cold atoms due to photon scattering in blue-detuned, crossed, hollow Laguerre-Gaussian beams. These beams are formed by imparting an azimuthal phase of ℓ φ to a Gaussian beam, where ℓ is an integer, and have an intensity distribution that scale... [Phys. Rev.
