Abstract

We propose a theoretical concept for creating a linear array of dark optical nanotraps in a cylindrical nanohole in a high-refractive-index dielectric film. It is rigorously shown that due to breaking the transversality of plane waves in the nanohole region, a linear chain of deep 3D dark (blue-detuned) trap configurations for neutral atoms, with sizes of less than 50 nm, a period of less than 100 nm and an effective depth of more than 10 mK at an intensity of just 10 kW/cm 2 is formed in the nanohole. The predicted effect could open up new directions in the field of cold atom manipulation and quantum computing on neutral atoms.

Blue-detuned optical atom trapping in a compact plasmonic structure

Zhao Chen, Fan Zhang, Qi Zhang +7 more

We theoretically propose blue-detuned optical trapping for neutral atoms via strong near-field interfacing in a plasmonic nanohole array. The optical field at resonance forms a nanoscale-trap potential with an FWHM of 200 nm and about ∼370  nm away from the nanohole; thus, a stable 3D atom trapping independent of the surface potential is demonstrated. The effective trap depth is more than 1 mK when the optical power of trapping light is only about 0.5 mW, while the atom scattering rate is merely about 3.31  s−1, and the trap lifetime is about 800 s. This compact plasmonic structure provides high uniformity of trap depths and a two-layer array of atom nanotraps, which should have important applications in the manipulation of cold atoms and collective resonance fluorescence.

Designing neutral-atom nanotraps with integrated optical waveguides

James P. Burke, Sai-Tak Chu, Garnett W. Bryant +2 more

Integrated optical structures offer the intriguing potential of compact, reproducible waveguide arrays, rings, Y junctions, etc., that could be used to design evanescent field traps to transport, store, and interact atoms in networks as complicated as any integrated optical waveguide circuit. We theoretically investigate three approaches to trapping atoms above linear integrated optical waveguides. A two-color scheme balances the decaying evanescent fields of red- and blue-detuned light to produce a potential minimum above the guide. A one-color surface trap proposal uses blue-detuned light and the attractive surface interaction to provide a potential minimum. A third proposal uses blue-detuned light in two guides positioned above and below one another. The atoms are confined to the ``dark'' spot in the vacuum gap between the guides. We find that all three approaches can be used to trap atoms in two or three dimensions with approximately 100 mW of laser power. We show that the dark spot guide is robust to light scatter and provides the most viable approach for constructing integrated optical circuits that could be used to transport and manipulate atoms in a controlled manner.

Electro-Optical Nanotraps for Neutral Atoms

Brian M. Murphy, Lene Vestergaard Hau

We propose a new class of nanoscale electro-optical traps for neutral atoms. A prototype is the toroidal trap created by a suspended, charged carbon nanotube decorated with a silver nanosphere dimer. An illuminating laser field, blue detuned from an atomic resonance frequency, is strongly focused by plasmons induced in the dimer and generates both a repulsive potential barrier near the nanostructure surface and a large viscous damping force that facilitates trap loading. Atoms with velocities of several meters per second may be loaded directly into the trap via spontaneous emission of just two photons.

Nanostructured optical nanofibres for atom trapping

M Daly, Viet Giang Truong, C F Phelan +2 more

We propose an optical dipole trap for cold, neutral atoms based on the electric field produced from the evanescent fields in a hollow, rectangular slot cut through an optical nanofibre. In particular, we discuss the trap performance in relation to laser-cooled rubidium atoms and show that a far off-resonance, blue-detuned field combined with the attractive surface-atom interaction potential from the dielectric material forms a stable trapping configuration. With the addition of a red-detuned field, we demonstrate how three dimensional confinement of the atoms at a distance of 140–200 nm from the fibre surface within the slot can be accomplished. This scheme facilitates optical coupling between the atoms and the nanofibre that could be exploited for quantum communication schemes using ensembles of laser-cooled atoms.

3D trapping of a meta-atom in an intensity minimum

Bin Lu, Adeel Afridi, Nadine Meyer +1 more

High-refractive-index particles have recently attracted a growing interest in optical levitation experiments, offering the ability to further engineer optical forces through electromagnetic Mie resonances. Unlike standard silica particles, which are predominantly trapped in the dipole regime and exhibit trap frequencies mainly determined by material density, resonant meta-atoms formed by high-index particles enable qualitatively new trapping behaviors. In this work, we experimentally investigate the trapping of resonant silicon particles in an optical standing wave. A direct comparison of silicon and silica highlights the fundamental differences in their optical force scaling and trapping dynamics. Beyond conventional trapping at intensity-maxima, we demonstrate deterministic and stable three-dimensional trapping of silicon nanoparticles in optical intensity minima, a regime that remains inaccessible for silica particles. Drawing a mesoscopic analogy with blue-detuned atom trapping, our results establish meta-atoms as a versatile approach to further extend the optical manipulation tool box towards accessing novel trapping regimes e.g. in close proximity to a surface.
