Abstract

The quasi-resonant laser light and magnetic field that comprise a magneto-optical trap (MOT) modulate the energy levels of the confined atoms via Stark shifts and Zeeman splittings. These drawbacks to the MOT have resulted in several designs for “dark” traps for neutral atoms.1–4 One approach that has not been realized for neutral atoms until now is to create a time averaged potential by scanning a laser beam around the sample to be trapped.
