متن کاملSingle-atom manipulations in a microscopic dipole trap.
We have realized a very small optical dipole trap that is designed to store and manipulate individual atoms. Due to the very small dipole-trap volume, a 'collisional blockade' mechanism locks the average number of trapped atoms at a value of 0.5 over a large range of loading rates. Here we describe methods to characterize the motion of a single trapped atom, and we also demonstrate the possibil...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics of atoms in a crossed optical dipole trap.
We explore the classical dynamics of atoms in an optical dipole trap formed by two identical Gaussian beams propagating in perpendicular directions. The phase space is a mixture of regular and chaotic orbits, the latter becoming dominant as the energy of the atoms increases. The trapping capabilities of these perpendicular Gaussian beams are investigated by considering an atomic ensemble in fre...
متن کاملZeeman frequency shifts in an optical dipole trap used to search for an electric-dipole moment
We calculate the Zeeman frequency shifts due to interactions with the light in a far-off-resonance optical dipole trap. These shifts are important for potential use of such a trap to search for an atomic permanent electric-dipole moment ~EDM!. We present numerical results for Cs and Hg, as examples of paramagnetic and diamagnetic atoms. The vector and tensor light shifts are calculated for a la...
متن کاملControlling atom motion through the dipole–dipole force
We describe simulations that illustrate the possibility for manipulating the position correlation of atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) using the dipole– dipole interaction. The control scheme utilizes a narrow band laser that is detuned to the high-frequency side of a single-photon Rydberg transition in an isolated atom. As two atoms move near each other, they can be laser excited to repell...
