Single-Atom Trapping in Holographic 2D Arrays of Microtraps with Arbitrary Geometries
We demonstrate single-atom trapping in two-dimensional arrays of microtraps with arbitrary geometries. We generate the arrays using a spatial light modulator, with which we imprint an appropriate phase pattern on an optical dipole-trap beam prior to focusing. We trap single ^{87}Rb atoms in the site...
