Trapping of rubidium atoms using optical tweezers
This thesis describes the realisation of a novel dipole force trapping method for cold neutral atoms, the optical tweezers. They are formed by imaging a spatial light modulator onto a mirror surface, by an aspherical lens. The spatial light modulator, a digital mirror device, consists of an array 10...
