Direct Laser Cooling to Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Dipole Trap

© 2019 American Physical Society. We present a method for producing three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates using only laser cooling. The phase transition to condensation is crossed with 2.5×104 Rb87 atoms at a temperature of Tc=0.6 μK after 1.4 s of cooling. Atoms are trapped in a crossed optic...
