Saturation of Cs2 Photoassociation in an Optical Dipole Trap

S. D. Kraft, M. Mudrich, M. U. Staudt +4

We present studies of strong coupling in single-photon photoassociation of cesium dimers using an optical dipole trap. A thermodynamic model of the trap depletion dynamics is emplo…

Photoassociation inside an optical dipole trap: absolute rate coefficients and Franck-Condon factors

R. Wester, S. D. Kraft, M. Mudrich +5

We present quantitative measurements of the photoassociation of cesium molecules inside a far-detuned optical dipole trap. A model of the trap depletion dynamics is derived which a…

Sympathetic Cooling with Two Atomic Species in an Optical Trap

M. Mudrich, S. Kraft, K. Singer +3

We simultaneously trap ultracold lithium and cesium atoms in an optical dipole trap formed by the focus of a CO laser and study the exchange of thermal energy between the gases…

Sympathetic Cooling of Lithium by Laser-cooled Cesium

S. Kraft, M. Mudrich, K. Singer +3

We present first indications of sympathetic cooling between two neutral, optically trapped atomic species. Lithium and cesium atoms are simultaneously stored in an optical dipole t…

Mixture of ultracold lithium and cesium atoms in an optical dipole trap

A. Mosk, S. Kraft, M. Mudrich +4

We present the first simultaneous trapping of two different ultracold atomic species in a conservative trap. Lithium and cesium atoms are stored in an optical dipole trap formed by…

Very long storage times and evaporative cooling of cesium atoms in a quasi-electrostatic dipole trap

H. Engler, T. Weber, M. Mudrich +2

We have trapped cesium atoms over many minutes in the focus of a CO-laser beam employing an extremely simple laser system. Collisional properties of the unpolarized atoms in th…
