Self-aligning recirculated crossed optical dipole trap for lithium atoms
The authors develop, numerically characterize, and experimentally test a new lens configuration that minimizes the sensitivity of a crossed-beam optical dipole trap to misalignment. This allows the trap to move and remain aligned, e.g. to bring an atomic cloud held in the trap close to a surface or field source for various applications in quantum simulation, sensing, and information processing.
