Abstract

The application of resonant light pressure in the presence of nonuniform bichromatic laser fields for the localization and control of ultracold electron-ion plasma in which the quantum transitions of ions are resonant with respect to the laser radiation is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the so-called rectified radiation forces that selectively act upon plasma ions and give rise to a dissipative optical superlattice (for ultracold plasma) whose period is significantly greater than the radiation wavelength can be used for this purpose.
