Optical Dipole Trap for Hg Atoms

I. Nandi, A. Sahu, M. Veis +3 more

We report the first realization of an optical dipole trap (ODT) for ultracold mercury atoms, overcoming the challenge posed by the exceptionally low polarizability of Hg and the resulting weak optical trapping potential. We demonstrate the transfer of six naturally abundant Hg isotopes from a magneto-optical trap (MOT) into the ODT and characterize its loading dynamics, trap depth, and lifetime. Confinement of dense samples of ultracold Hg opens new opportunities for studies of isotope-dependent collisions and photoassociation and provides a route toward quantum degeneracy.

Summary form only given. We report progress on an experiment on trapped metastable /sup 4/He(2/sup 3/S/sub 1/) atoms which aims at producing a dense gas of ultra cold atoms, with the goal of reaching Bose-Einstein condensation. We have built a magneto-optical trap (MOT) in which we study the cold collisions, which are the main loss cause limiting the obtainable density.
