Holographic generation of microtrap arrays for single atoms by use of a programmable phase modulator

Holographic generation of microtrap arrays for single atoms by use of a programmable phase modulator

We have generated multiple micron-sized optical dipole traps for neutral atoms using holographic techniques with a programmable liquid crystal spatial light modulator. The setup allows the storing of a single atom per trap, and the addressing and manipulation of individual trapping sites.
