Efficient loading and cooling in a dynamic optical evanescent-wave microtrap
Efficient loading and cooling in a dynamic optical evanescent-wave microtrap
We calculate the loading efficiency and cooling rates in a bichromatic optical microtrap, where the optical potentials are generated by evanescent waves of cavity fields at a dielectric-vacuum interface. The cavity modified nonconservative dynamic light forces lead to efficient loading of the atoms as well as cooling without the need …
