Optical transport and manipulation of an ultracold atomic cloud using focus-tunable lenses

We present an optical setup with focus-tunable lenses to dynamically control the waist and focus position of a laser beam, in which we transport a trapped ultracold cloud of ^87 Rb over a distance of $28\;{\rm cm}$ . The scheme allows us to shift the focus position at constant waist, providing unifo...
