We demonstrate background-free imaging and sideband cooling of a single 133Cs atom via the narrow-line 6S1/2 to 5D5/2 electric quadrupole transition in a 1064 nm optical tweezer. The 5D5/2 state decays through the 6P3/2 state to the ground…

We experimentally realize an enhanced Raman control scheme for neutral atoms that features an intrinsic suppression of the two-photon carrier transition, but retains the sidebands which couple to the external degrees of freedom of the…

We utilize the dark state in a {\Lambda}-type three-level system to cool an ensemble of 85Rb atoms in an optical lattice [Morigi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 4458 (2000)]. The common suppression of the carrier transition of atoms with…
