Preparation of one 87Rb and one 133Cs atom in a single optical tweezer

Abstract: We report the preparation of exactly one 87Rb atom and one 133Cs atom in the same optical tweezer as the essential first step towards the construction of a tweezer array of individually trapped 87Rb133Cs molecules. Through careful selection of the tweezer wavelengths, we show how to engineer species-selective trapping potentials suitable for high-fidelity preparation of Rb + Cs atom pairs. Using a wavelength of 814 nm to trap Rb and 938 nm to trap Cs, we achieve loading probabilities of 0.508(6) for Rb and 0.5… Show more

“…The atomic temperature T a is assumed to change within the range of T a ∈ [0, 50] µK for a cryogenic environment. We note that similar magnitudes of an atomic temperature have been reached experimentally [61][62][63].…”

“…Another more important reason is that the atomic cooling and trapping scales of MOT vary from several hundred microns to several millimeters much larger than the Rydberg blocking radius. Therefore, in the experiment, the neutral atom is loaded into a far resonance optical trap (FORT) [52,56] or an optical tweezer [91][92][93] via MOT to achieve further capture. The optical dipole trap is based on the so-called dipole force.…”

“…This optical tweezer array is formed by combining a 2D array of tweezers at 910 nm generated from a spatial-light modulator (SLM) and a separate 2D array of tweezers at 811 nm generated from an acoustooptic deflector (AOD). The wavelengths and laser intensities are chosen such that the 910 nm tweezers and the 811 nm tweezers are element-selective for single Cs and Rb atoms, respectively [31]. Control of the phase pattern on the SLM and of the radio-frequency (RF) tones sent to the AOD enables flexible arrangement of the positions of each optical tweezer, allowing us to create arbitrary 2D geometries of Rb and Cs atoms.…”
