Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We systematically investigated the surface conditions of glasses doped with alkali-metal atoms and the properties of light-induced desorption from those surfaces. We found clear differences between quartz glass and Pyrex glass. Alkali-doped glass materials could not be realized that enabled high light-induced desorption rates for applications to laser cooling. There may be some possibilities of obtaining high desorption rates at room temperature using coating materials such as PDMS, and further studies will be required.
