Rubidium Rydberg atoms are laser excited and subsequently trapped in a one-dimensional
optical lattice (wavelength 1064 nm). Efficient trapping is achieved by a lattice inversion
immediately after laser excitation using an electro-optic technique. The trapping efficiency is

Rubidium Rydberg atoms are laser excited and subsequently trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice (wavelength 1064 nm). Efficient trapping is achieved by a lattice inversion immediately after laser excitation using an electro-optic technique. The trapping efficiency is probed via analysis of the trap-induced shift of the two-photon microwave transition . The inversion technique allows us to reach a trapping efficiency of 90%. The dependence of the efficiency on the timing of the lattice inversion and on the trap laser power is studied. The dwell time of Rydberg atoms in the lattice is analyzed using lattice-induced photoionization.
