Zeeman-insensitive cooling of a single atom to its two-dimensional motional ground state in tightly focused optical tweezers
Pimonpan Sompet, Yin H. Fung, Eyal Schwartz +3
We combine near--deterministic preparation of a single atom with Raman sideband cooling, to create a push button mechanism to prepare a single atom in the motional ground state of…
Efficient collisional blockade loading of single atom into a tight microtrap
Y. H. Fung, M. F. Andersen
We show that controlled inelastic collisions can improve the single atom loading efficiency in the collisional blockade regime of optical microtraps. A collisional loss process whe…
In-trap fluorescence detection of atoms in a microscopic dipole trap
A. J. Hilliard, Y. H. Fung, P. Sompet +2
We investigate fluorescence detection using a standing wave of blue-detuned light of one or more atoms held in a deep, microscopic dipole trap. The blue-detuned standing wave reali…
Dynamics of two atoms undergoing light-assisted collisions in an optical microtrap
P. Sompet, A. V. Carpentier, Y. H. Fung +2
We study the dynamics of atoms in optical traps when exposed to laser cooling light that induces light-assisted collisions. We experimentally prepare individual atom pairs and obse…
High efficiency preparation of single trapped atoms using blue detuned light assisted collisions
A. V. Carpentier, Y. H. Fung, P. Sompet +3
We report on a procedure by which we obtain a 91% loading efficiency of single 85Rb atoms in an optical microtrap. This can be achieved within a total preparation time of 542 ms. W…
