Large-area ${}^{87}$Rb Bose-Einstein condensate in a clipped-Gaussian optical dipole trap

Younghoon Lim, Junhong Goo, Haneul Kwak +1

We demonstrate a production of large-area ${}^{87}$Rb Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) using a non-Gaussian optical dipole trap (ODT). The ODT is formed by focusing a symmetrically t…
