It is shown that rectified radiative forces (a frictional force and a rectified gradient force) in crossed Gaussian bichromatic light beams can be used to solve the problem of long-term confinement of an ultracold plasma with resonance ions. The effect of plasma confinement during ∼2 min can be attained at beam intensities not above several watts per square centimeter.
The three-dimensional kinetics of resonance atoms with the J = 0 → J = 1 quantum transition in the weak field of mutually orthogonal bichromatic standing waves under conditions of manifestation of the effect of straightening of radiation forces is considered. It is demonstrated that the character of particle motion (induced by the straightened radiation forces) significantly depends on the relative...
