The Python computer program presented in this study simulates various aspects of laser cooling physics. Users can specify parameters and choose from different levels of approximation for computational efficiency. The software successfully reproduces well-known phenomena such as Rabi flopping, electromagnetically induced transparency, and optical molasses.
We present a Python object-oriented computer program for simulating various aspects of laser cooling physics. Our software is designed to be both easy to use and adaptable, allowing the user to specify the level structure, magnetic field profile, or the laser beams' geometry, detuning, and intensity. The program contains three levels of approximation for the motion of the atom, applicable in different regimes offering cross checks for calculations and computational efficiency depending on the physical situation. We test the software by reproducing well-known phenomena, such as damped Rabi flopping, electromagnetically induced transparency, stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, and optical molasses. We also use our software package to quantitatively simulate recoil-limited magneto-optical traps, like those formed on the narrow S-1(0) -> P-3(1) transition in Sr-88 and Sr-87.
