We have transferred atoms from our magneto-optical trap into the crossed dipole trap for the first time. The image below shows an absorption image of the atoms after releasing them from this trap (and a short time-of-flight of 400us).
Atoms inside our optical dipole trap First ultracold rubidium atoms in our optical dipole trap!
