In this work, we demonstrate the trapping of rubidium (Rb) atoms in a pulsed optical dipole
trap formed by femtosecond laser radiation with a pulse duration as small as 70 fs. The atom …

Based on the multi-level model, we have calculated light shifts for Zeeman states of
hyperfine levels of cesium (Cs) 6S_1/2 ground state and 6P_3/2 excited state. The magic …

We investigate single-cesium-atom heating owing to the momentum accumulation process
induced by the resonant pulsed excitation in a microscopic optical dipole trap formed by a …

We propose a scheme for a state-insensitive optical dipole trap for single cesium atoms
using a silica microcapillary tube tip. The end of microcapillary tube tip is flat. Simulations …
