| 1. | This is called dark magneto-optical trap ( DMOT ).
|
| 2. | This cooling scheme starts from atoms in a magneto-optical trap.
|
| 3. | To reach the lowest possible temperature, further cooling is performed using optical trap.
|
| 4. | Most optical traps operate with a Gaussian beam ( TEM 00 mode ) profile intensity.
|
| 5. | A magneto-optical trap is usually the first step to achieving Bose Einstein condensation.
|
| 6. | These beams, made using axicons, provide an ideal optical trap to channel cold atoms.
|
| 7. | For this, a certain magneto-optical trap was devised comprising six lasers and two magnetic coils.
|
| 8. | First atoms are usually trapped and pre-cooled via laser cooling in a magneto-optical trap.
|
| 9. | All magneto-optical traps require at least one trapping laser plus any necessary repumper lasers ( see above ).
|
| 10. | In this way, an optical trap can be compared to a simple spring, which follows Hooke's law.
