Abstract: | We report the experimental realization of an optical trap that localizes single Cs atoms ?215 nm from the surface of a dielectric nanofiber. By operating at magic wavelengths for pairs of counterpropagating red- and blue-detuned trapping beams, differential scalar light shifts are eliminated, and vector shifts are suppressed by ≈250. We thereby measure an absorption linewidth Γ/2π=5.7±0.1 MHz for the Cs 6S_{1/2}, F=4→6P_{3/2}, F^{'}=5 transition, where Γ_{0}/2π=5.2 MHz in free space. An optical depth d?66 is observed, corresponding to an optical depth per atom d_{1}?0.08. These advances provide an important capability for the implementation of functional quantum optical networks and precision atomic spectroscopy near dielectric surfaces. |
