Loading and cooling in an optical trap via hyperfine dark states
We present an optical cooling scheme that relies on hyperfine dark states to enhance loading and cooling atoms inside deep optical dipole traps. We demonstrate a sevenfold increase in the number of atoms loaded in the conservative potential with strongly shifted excited states. In addition, we use t...
