Two-color atom guide and 1D optical lattice using evanescent fields of high-order transverse modes
arXiv:0704.3460 · doi:10.1088/0953-4075/40/21/007
Abstract
We propose a two-color scheme of atom guide and 1D optical lattice using evanescent light fields of different transverse modes. The optical waveguide carries a red-detuned light and a blue-detuned light, with both modes far from resonance. The atom guide and 1D optical lattice potentials can be transformed to each other by using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer to accurately control mode transformation. This might provide a new approach to realize flexible transition between the guiding and trapping states of atoms.
