A reliable cw Lyman-$\alpha$ laser source for future cooling of antihydrogen

Optics 2012-08-20 v1 Atomic Physics

Abstract

We demonstrate a reliable continuous-wave (cw) laser source at the 1\,SS--2\,PP transition in (anti)hydrogen at 121.56\,nm (Lyman-α\alpha) based on four-wave sum-frequency mixing in mercury. A two-photon resonance in the four-wave mixing scheme is essential for a powerful cw Lyman-α\alpha source and is well investigated.
