Magneto-optical traps on a chip using micro-fabricated gratings

We have made magneto-optical traps (MOTs) on a chip which is able to cool and trap ~108 atoms directly from a ~1cm3 thermal background of 87Rb. Diffraction gratings are used to manipulate the light from a single input beam to create the beams required for a MOT [1,2]. The gratings are etched into th...
