In atomic, molecular, and optical physics, a magneto-optical trap (MOT) is an apparatus which uses laser cooling and a spatially varying magnetic field to create a trap which can produce samples of cold neutral atoms.

In this experiment we make use of laser spectroscopy and electronic feedback to stabilize the frequency of a coherent optical eld to roughly one part in 108, allowing us to examine precisely the interactions between atoms and light.

In this paper, we describe the anti-Helmholtz coils for the magneto-optical trap (MOT) and the Helmholtz coils for feshbach resonances used for interaction control.

Mar 10, 2022 · The magneto-optical trap (MOT) is an essential tool for collecting and preparing cold atoms with a wide range of applications. We demonstrate a planar-integrated MOT by combining an optical grating chip with a magnetic coil chip.

Jun 23, 2020 · We have constructed in our laboratory two rectangular shaped current carrying coils in accordance with the parameters used in our design so that they can be put in use in the Two Dimensional Magneto Optical Trap (2D-MOT)to obtain very high value of Optical Depth (OD).

MOT Anti‐Helmholtz coils provide magnetic field 3 pairs of counter‐propagating lasers (red detuned) Atoms that move away from the center come into resonance with a laser that pushes it back toward the center of the trap (Zeeman Effect)

Dec 12, 2020 · We report on the design, implementation, and performance of a compact two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D MOT) for cesium. In a small-volume vacuum chamber, the setup uses cesium dispensers in close proximity to the trapping region of the 2D MOT and operates at low vapor pressures in the $10^ {-9}$ torr range.

Nov 23, 2017 · We present the properties of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) of CaF molecules. We study the process of loading the MOT from a decelerated buffer-gas-cooled beam, and how best to slow this molecular beam in order to capture the most molecules.

We report on a simple oven-loaded magneto-optical trap (MOT) apparatus for the creation of both molecular Bose-Einstein condensates (mBEC) and degenerate Fermi gases (DFGs) of lithium.
