Abstract

We introduced a figure of merit for optical bottle-beam traps, and identified optical bottle-beam traps based on metasurfaces illuminated by a Gaussian beam that are superior in terms of power efficiency compared to existing approaches.

Efficient generation of optical bottle beams

Yuzhe Xiao, Zhaoning Yu, Raymond A. Wambold +5 more

Abstract Optical bottle beams can be used to trap atoms and small low‐index particles. We introduce a figure of merit (FoM) for optical bottle beams, specifically in the context of optical traps, and use it to compare optical bottle‐beam traps obtained by three different methods. Using this FoM and an optimization algorithm, we identified the optical bottle‐beam traps based on a Gaussian beam illuminating a metasurface that are superior in terms of power efficiency than existing approaches. We numerically demonstrate a silicon metasurface for creating an optical bottle‐beam trap.

Generation of Bottle Beams with a Single Metasurface

We demonstrate efficient generation of optical bottle beams for atom trapping and tweezing applications. Our approach produces multiple bottle beam regions, longitudinally, from a compact metasurface that exploits interference of free-space eigenmodes.

We report optical metasurfaces that enable bottle-beam arrays for blue-detuned trapping of neutral atoms. Our approach only requires a single metasurface which significantly reduces the complexity of the trapping experiments.
