Trapping of lithium atoms in a large hollow optical dipole trap

Abstract: We describe the trapping of lithium atoms in an optical dipole trap about 1 mm in size, with a nearly rectangular potential. The trap has the shape of a cylinder with flat bases. The confinement region is bounded by thin walls produced by light with a frequency blue-detuned from an atomic transition (resonance) frequency by 19 GHz. Before trapping, the gas is collected and cooled in a magneto-optical trap whose centre nearly coincides with the centre of the dipole trap. After switching off the magneto-optical … Show more

“…Such a distribution follows the concept of two-color dipole optical trapping [3,4]: a red-detuned attracting potential in the core is combined with a blue-detuned repulsing potential at the outer ring. Unlike existing large-scale dipole traps based on axicons or diffractive optics [41,42,[45][46][47], AOTF-based traps allow fast dynamical reconfiguring of the trap potentials and different wavelengths can be processed independently if the frequency ranges corresponding to different wavelengths do not overlap.…”
