Stable, Strongly Attractive, Two-State Mixture of Lithium Fermions in an Optical Trap
K. M. O'Hara, M. E. Gehm, S. R. Granade +2
We use an all-optical trap to confine a strongly attractive two-state mixture of lithium fermions. By measuring the rate of evaporation from the trap, we determine the effective el…

Ultrastable CO2 Laser Trapping of Lithium Fermions
K. M. O'Hara, S. R. Granade, M. E. Gehm +4
We demonstrate an ultrastable CO2 laser trap that provides tight confinement of neutral atoms with negligible optical scattering and minimal laser-noise- induced heating. Using thi…
