Light-induced atomic desorption for loading a sodium magneto-optical trap
We report studies of photon-stimulated desorption, also known as light-induced atomic desorption, of sodium atoms from a vacuum-cell glass surface used for loading a magneto-optical trap (MOT). Fluorescence detection was used to record the trapped atom number and the desorption rate. We observed a steep wavelength dependence of the desorption process above 2.6 eV photon energy, a result signifi...
متن کاملEliminating light shifts in single-atom optical traps
Microscopically controlled neutral atoms in optical tweezers and lattices have led to exciting advances in the study of quantum information and quantum many-body systems. The light shifts of atomic levels from the trapping potential in these systems can result in detrimental effects such as fluctuating dipole force heating, inhomogeneous detunings, and inhibition of laser cooling, which limits ...

متن کامل[hal-00796203, v1] Fabrication of Magneto-Optical Atom Traps on a Chip
Ultra-cold atoms can be manipulated using microfabricated devices known as atom chips. These have significant potential for applications in sensing, metrology and quantum information processing. To date, the chips are loaded by transfer of atoms from an external, macroscopic magneto-optical trap (MOT) into microscopic traps on the chip. This transfer involves a series of steps, which complicate...
متن کاملLarge atom number dual-species magneto-optical trap for fermionic 6Li and 40K atoms
We present the design, implementation and characterization of a dual-species magneto-optical trap (MOT) for fermionic Li and K atoms with large atom numbers. The MOT simultaneously contains 5.2 × 10 Li-atoms and 8.0 × 10 K-atoms, which are continuously loaded by a Zeeman slower for Li and a 2D-MOT for K. The atom sources induce capture rates of 1.2 × 10 Li-atoms/s and 1.4 × 10 K-atoms/s. Trap l...
