A simple absolute measure of the excitation probability is obtained from the deflection of an atomic beam, as excited atoms receive an additional momentum corresponding to a single photon recoil. With this method, we investigate the excitation process as a function of laser power, wavefront curvature and interaction time. Rabi oscillations are seen in the center-of-mass motion of an atomic ensemble for small wavefront curvatures, which change to adiabatic transfer produced by a Doppler detuning chirp for large wavefront curvatures. The adiabatic transfer provides a simple method for complete excitation of an atomic two-level system.","PeriodicalId":11780,"journal":{"name":"EQEC'96. 1996 European Quantum Electronic Conference","volume":"36 1","pages":"132-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81102970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
