Optical ferris wheel for ultracold atoms.

We propose a versatile optical ring lattice suitable for trapping cold and quantum degenerate atomic samples. We demonstrate the realisation of intensity patterns from pairs of Laguerre-Gauss (exp(i??) modes with different ? indices. These patterns can be rotated by introducing a frequency shift between the modes. We can generate bright ring lattices for trapping atoms in red-detuned light, and...

Looking back, I marvel at how mothers in slums managed to keep apartments free of them. Even in modem high rises, these inseets are indefatigable--often outwitting regulas extermination squads.
