Stable radiative traps for neutral atoms
Description
A method for achieving radiative trapping of neutral atoms is proposed which is based on a temporary decoupling of the cooling and trapping functions. This is achieved by alternating phases of laser trapping and cooling, which makes it possible to optimize separately the trapping and cooling waves. Possible ways of implementing the approach proposed here are examined, and numerical examples are presented for sodium atoms. A large ratio-potential depth over the residual kinetic energy is predicted. 11 references
