Abstract
In recent years, our laboratory has completely mastered the dipole optic trap technique. Currently, we produce daily trapped samples of one or two atomic species using a high power laser at 1.06 ¼m. Such samples generally have 10 6 atoms trapped at densities of 10 12 atoms / cm 3 and temperatures less than 20 ¼K. Today, this trapped sample is the starting point for any modern experiment i…
