采用消逝波干涉的二维表面微光阱阵列

提出了一种采用两套超大红失谐消逝波干涉和一束蓝失谐消逝波光场来实现原子二维表面微光阱阵列和原子有效强度梯度冷却的新方案，得到了二维表面微光阱阵列的光强分布和光学势分布.研究发现，二维表面微光阱阵列中微光阱的光学势能够有效地囚禁从标准磁光阱中释放的冷原子，并且被囚禁的冷原子能在蓝失谐消逝波光场的作用下产生有效的强度梯度Sisyphus冷却，对⁸⁷Rb原子而言，原子温度能被冷却到2.56μK.该方案在冷原子物理、原子光学和量子光学领域中有着广阔的应用前景. 关键词： 消逝波干涉 微光阱阵列 原子囚禁 强度梯度冷却

2D array of surface optical micro-traps by evanescent wave interference

We propose a novel scheme to form a 2D surface array of optical micro-traps of cold atoms by using two sets of far red-detuned evanescent wave interference and a blue-detuned evanescent wave. The optical potentials of the 2D surface array of optical micro-traps are high enough to trap cold atoms released from the standard magneto-optical trap，and ⁸⁷Rb atoms trapped in the array of optical micro-traps can be cooled to 2.56μK with efficient intensity-gradient Sisyphus cooling. Our study shows that the proposed 2D surface array of optical micro-traps can be used in atomic physics，atomic optics, quantum optics and so on.
