Trapping of Cold Excitons with Laser Light
arXiv:cond-mat/0603597 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.227402
Abstract
Optical trapping and manipulation of neutral particles has led to a variety of experiments from stretching DNA-molecules to trapping and cooling of neutral atoms. An exciting recent outgrowth of the technique is an experimental implementation of atom Bose-Einstein condensation. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate laser induced trapping for a new system--a gas of excitons in quantum well structures. We report on the trapping of a highly degenerate Bose gas of excitons in laser induced traps.
