Velocity selection for ultracold three-level atoms using two micromaser cavities

Abstract

The transmission probability of an ultracold cascade three-level atom through micromaser systems is calculated and analyzed. It is shown that the micromaser systems can be used as velocity selectors for ultracold three-level atoms. The velocity selectivity is better for ultracold three-level atoms than for ultracold two-level atoms, and is better in a two-cavity system than in a one-cavity system.
