Single Cs atom trapped in tweezer

Writer's picture: hoodlabpurduehoodlabpurdue

We have trapped a single Cs atom in an optical tweezer. The micron-size optical tweezer picks out a single atom from the magneto-optical trap. The flickering is the atom coming into the trap, and then being kicked out by collisions with the background gas.
