  Doppler cooling limit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doppler temperature is the minimum temperature achievable with Doppler cooling, one of the methods of laser cooling.
At the temperature when this effect exactly balances out the cooling effect of the laser, no further cooling is possible.
The term Doppler arises from the fact that the Doppler effect, which provides a velocity dependence of the absorption rate and thus the light force, is an essential ingredient of the Doppler cooling mechanism.

 Doppler effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Doppler effect, named after Christian Andreas Doppler, is the apparent change in frequency and wavelength of a wave that is perceived by an observer moving relative to the source of the waves.
Another use of the Doppler effect which is found mostly in astronomy, is the estimation of the temperature of a gas which is emitting a spectral line.
This line shape is called a Doppler profile and the width of the line is proportional to the square root of the temperature of the gas, allowing the Doppler-broadened line to be used to measure the temperature of the emitting gas.

 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Temperature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Temperature is the physical property of a system which underlies the common notions of "hot" and "cold"; the material with the higher temperature is said to be hotter.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter.
Temperature is an intensive property of a system, meaning that it does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.

 Laser cooling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since the temperature of an ensemble of atoms is a measure of the random internal kinetic energy, this is equivalent to cooling the atoms.
Lower temperatures, down to the recoil temperature, may be obtained by sub-Doppler cooling.
Counterpropagating sets of laser beams in all three Cartesian dimensions may be used to cool all the three degrees of freedom of the atom.

 SCERP Project Number: AQ95_4
The doppler frequency shifts observed in the radar signal returns scattered by the atmospheric turbulent eddies in each pointing direction are proportional to the radial velocity of the winds.
Temperature profiles are measured using a combination of a vertically transmitted variable frequency acoustic wave and vertically transmitted radar pulses.
Data from lidars, sodars, towers, balloon borne instruments, doppler radars and laser doppler velocimeters located at various sites in the valley were used in the study.

Some doppler flowmeters are deployed on the channel-bed whilst others measure the velocity of the surface water.
For in-channel doppler flowmeters this is normally achieved by utilising a hydrostatic sensor (pressure) although ultrasonic level devices can be used.
The doppler flowmeter sensor is installed in partially full and surcharged pipes, rectangular, trapezoid and egg-shaped channels..

Doppler refers to the principle the Austrian scientist Christian Doppler discovered in 1842.
Doppler worked out his ideas using sound waves, long before radio, much less radar, was invented.
The computer that's a part of a Doppler radar uses the frequency changes to show directions and speeds of the winds blowing around the raindrops, insects and other objects that reflected the radio waves.

 Further evidence of a two-level mesopause and its variations from UARS high-resolution Doppler imager temperature data
During December solstice (1992), the mesopause is at the high level of 100 km in the Northern Hemisphere with a temperature of 190 K, and around 40°S, the mesopause changes to a low level of 88 km with a cool temperature (150 K) of 40 K less than the high-level mesopause.
The high-level mesopause with temperatures of 180–190 K and the low-level mesopause with temperatures of 140–150 K are observed.
The lowest mesopause temperatures at northern high latitudes are observed between May and August, which is consistent with the period of polar mesosphere summer echo observed by using VHF radar at these latitudes.

 Press Release: The 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics
When the temperature is one-millionth of a degree from this point (termed 1 µK, microkelvin) free hydrogen atoms, for example, move at speeds of less than 1 km/hr (= 25 cm/s).
It was found that the temperature was about 240 µK. This corresponds to a sodium atom speed of about 30 cm/s, and agreed very well with a theoretically calculated temperature - the Doppler limit - then considered the lowest temperature that could be reached with Doppler cooling.
He developed several new methods of measuring the temperature, including one in which the atoms are allowed to fall under the influence of gravity, the curve of their fall being determined with the help of a measuring laser.

 Spectroscopy
Christian Doppler (1803-1853), and it is therefore known as the Doppler Effect.
The Doppler Effect applies to light as well, although because the speed of light is almost nine hundred thousand times greater than that of sound, the frequency shift is harder to notice.
The Doppler Effect shifts this peak towards the red or the blue end of the spectrum, "sliding" the frequency graph one way or the other.

 The Doppler Effect for Sound
You hear the high pitch of the siren of the approaching ambulance, and notice that its pitch drops suddenly as the ambulance passes you.
An approaching source moves closer during period of the sound wave so the effective wavelength is shortened, giving a higher pitch since the velocity of the wave is unchanged.
Note: The frequency will default to A4 (440 Hz) and the temperature will default to 20 C if those values are not entered.

 The VE2EMM Montreal III Doppler DF unit
The Doppler II uses a 2-stage op-amp based peaking filter: Unless very temperature-stable components are used, this filter may be prone to drift, causing phase/direction errors at different temperatures.
The Doppler III uses a 2-stage integrated switched-capacitor filter that is intrinsically stable in terms of temperature.
Note that the potential temperature drift problem of the Doppler II is minimized by using good-quality stable capacitors in the peaking filter: I'd found that allowing the unit to warm up for 5 minutes or so before calibrating minimized this problem.

 [No title]
It should be borne in mind that formula (3.15) corresponding to the quasiclassical dynamics of the atom can be used when the temperature T exceeds the minimum possible temperature defined by recoil energy (1.5) (Castin and Dalibard, 1991).
Because of their relatively high initial temperature, the atoms are located at vibrational levels with v>>0 (the case illustrated in Fig.
Obviously the diffusion of atoms in the momentum space causes, in contrast to the VSCPT effect, the temperature of the entire atomic ensemble to rise.

The objective of this project is to extent the applicability of the Ultrasonic Doppler technique to velocity measurements in high temperature liquid metal flows.
To apply the Ultrasonic Doppler Velocimetry in high temperature metallic melts the thermal restriction of the ultrasonic transducers has to be overcome.
To realise this concept, a couple of problems have to be solved, like acoustic coupling between ultrasonic transducer and wave guide, transmission of the ultrasound through the wave guide, wetting between the metallic melt and the wave guide, or allocation of reflecting particles in the melt.

 CMB Temperature Field
It is precisely the spatial and temporal variation of these quantities, especially the monopole, which determines the pattern of anisotropies we observe today.
A distant observer sees spatial variations in the local temperature or monopole, at a distance given by the lookback time, as a fine-scale angular anisotropy.
Similarly, local dipoles appear as a Doppler shifted temperature which is viewed analogously.

 Integral Approach
However, the Doppler effect has a directional dependence as well since it is only the line-of-sight velocity that produces the effect.
Physically this corresponds to the fact that the velocity is irrotational and hence has no component in the direction orthogonal to the wavevector (see Plate 3).
The observed peaks must be acoustic peaks in the effective temperature not ``Doppler peaks''.

 Finding a gas plume’s temperature from its infrared spectrum
We tested the spectroscopic temperature diagnostic using emission from two CO transitions at wavelengths of 4.2 and 14.5μm.
The spectroscopic temperatures were in good agreement with thermocouple values; the RMS error, computed from all data sets, was 22K, on the order of 5% of the absolute temperature values.
The greatest source of error was probably the variation in the plume's location and temperature caused by wind and turbulence within the plume.

 Press Release: The Nobel Prize in Physics 1997
Phillips found in 1988 that a temperature as low as 40 µK could be attained.
This value was six times lower than the theoretically calculated Doppler limit! It turned out that the Doppler limit had been calculated for a simplified model atom that had previously been considered sufficiently realistic.
The reason why the recoil velocity an atom obtains from a single photon sets a limit to both Doppler cooling and Sisyphus cooling is that even the slowest atoms are continually being forced to absorb and emit photons.

Laser cooling is usually not meant to be the cooling of lasers, but rather the use of dissipative light forces for reducing the random motion and thus the temperature of small particles, typically atoms or ions.
A simple scheme for laser cooling is Doppler cooling, where light forces are exerted by absorption and subsequent spontaneous emission of photons, and the rate of these processes depends on the velocity of an atom or ion due to the Doppler shift.
The method of Doppler cooling is limited in terms of the reachable temperature (→ Doppler limit).
