Phys. Rev. A 65, 013403 (2001) [7 pages]Subrecoil Raman spectroscopy of cold cesium atomsReceived 28 July 2001; published 11 December 2001 We describe and characterize a setup for subrecoil stimulated Raman spectroscopy of cold cesium atoms. We study in particular the performances of a method designed for active control and stabilization of the magnetic fields across a cold-atom cloud inside a small vacuum cell. The performance of the setup is monitored by copropagative-beam stimulated Raman spectroscopy of a cold cesium sample. The root-mean-square value of the residual magnetic field is 300 μG, with a compensation bandwidth of 500 Hz. The shape of the observed spectra is theoretically interpreted and compares very well to numerically generated spectra. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
