15 Nov 2006 | | Subject: | Optics; Atomic Physics | | Abstract: | We propose a versatile optical ring lattice suitable for trapping cold and quantum degenerate atomic samples at discrete angular positions. We demonstrate the realisation of intensity patterns generated from Laguerre-Gauss ($exp(i ell heta)$) modes with different $ell$ indices. The ring lattice can have either intensity maxima or minima, suitable for trapping in red or blue detuned light, and it can be rotated by introducing a frequency shift between the Laguerre Gauss modes. The potential wells can be joined to form a uniform ring trap, making it ideal for studying persistent currents and the Mott insulator transition in a ring geometry. | | Source: | arXiv, physics/0611154 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
