Tiivistelmä
We simulate collisions between two atoms, which move in an optical lattice under the dipole-dipole interaction. The model describes simultaneously the two basic dynamical processes, namely the Sisyphus cooling of single atoms, and the light-induced inelastic collisions between them. We consider the J=1/2-->J=3/2 laser cooling transition for Cs and Na. We find that the hotter atoms in a thermal sample are selectively lost or heated by the collisions, which modifies the steady-state distribution of atomic velocities, reminiscent of the evaporative cooling process.
