Atoms trapped in metasurface tweezer arrays

Apr 30, 2024

In collaboration with the Nanfang Yu Lab at Columbia, we have developed a technique to trap atoms in optical tweezer arrays, generated via holographic metasurfaces. The picture shows a flouresence image of Sr atoms,  cooled and trapped in a metasurface tweezer array with a mean tweezer spacing of 3 um. The technique allows creation of atom arrays with arbitrary geometry and high laser power. Congrats to the entire TweeSr and Yu Lab Team on this wonderful achievement!
