Evaporative cooling of a small number of atoms in a single-beam microscopic dipole trap
R. Bourgain, J. Pellegrino, A. Fuhrmanek +2
We demonstrate experimentally the evaporative cooling of a few hundred rubidium 87 atoms in a single-beam microscopic dipole trap. Starting from 800 atoms at a temperature of 125mi…
Sub-Poissonian atom number fluctuations using light-assisted collisions
Y. R. P. Sortais, A. Fuhrmanek, R. Bourgain +1
We investigate experimentally the number statistics of a mesoscopic ensemble of cold atoms in a microscopic dipole trap loaded from a magneto-optical trap, and find that the atom n…
Study of light-assisted collisions between a few cold atoms in a microscopic dipole trap
A. Fuhrmanek, R. Bourgain, Y. R. P. Sortais +1
We study light-assisted collisions in an ensemble containing a small number (~3) of cold Rb87 atoms trapped in a microscopic dipole trap. Using our ability to operate with one atom…
Imaging a single atom in a time-of-flight experiment
A. Fuhrmanek, A. M. Lance, C. Tuchendler +3
We perform fluorescence imaging of a single 87Rb atom after its release from an optical dipole trap. The time-of-flight expansion of the atomic spatial density distribution is obse…
