The combined use of trapping and cooling laser beams for optical trapping and cooling of neutral atoms by the forces of resonance radiation pressure is examined. Calculations show that atoms can be held in traps as deep as 10(-4) eV at temperatures of ~10(-3) K, close to the minimum set by quantum fluctuations. Spatial confinement of atoms to a region a fraction of a wavelength in length should be possible.
研究了利用俘获激光束和冷却激光束通过共振辐射压力对中性原子进行光学俘获和冷却的联合应用。计算表明，在温度约为10^(-3)K时，原子可以被捕获在深度达10^(-4)eV的陷阱中，接近量子涨落设定的最小值。将原子空间限制在长度为波长几分之一的区域应该是可行的。
