Phys. Rev. A 60, 4788–4795 (1999)Raman-induced magnetic resonance imaging of atoms in a magneto-optical trapReceived 21 April 1999; revised 16 July 1999; published in the issue dated December 1999 We apply Raman-induced resonance imaging techniques to determine, with a spatial resolution of 12 μm, the size of a cloud of atoms in a magneto-optical trap and the location of the centroid with respect to the magnetic-field zero point. These experiments provide a starting point for developing much higher-resolution resonance imaging methods for cold trapped atoms. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
