Dipole force trapping of caesium atoms

A novel dipole force trap was developed for trapping caesium atoms in the lower hyperfine level of the ground state and in preliminary experiments a cloud of ≈1000 atoms was trapped. The viability of the trap is discussed, including suggestions for amendments to the trap design and problems that mig...
