Single Atoms in an Optical Dipole Trap: Towards a Deterministic Source of Cold Atoms
D. Frese, B. Ueberholz, S. Kuhr +4
We describe a simple experimental technique which allows us to store a small and deterministic number of neutral atoms in an optical dipole trap. The desired atom number is prepare…

Counting Cold Collisions
B. Ueberholz, S. Kuhr, D. Frese +2
We have experimentally explored a novel possibility to study exoergic cold atomic collisions. Trapping of small countable atom numbers in a shallow magneto-optical trap and monitor…
