Transport of Atoms in Optical Lattices — •Wolfgang Merkel¹, Holger Mack¹, Matthias Freyberger¹, Victor V. Kozlov¹, Bruce W. Shore², and Wolfgang P. Schleich¹ — ¹Abteilung für Quantenphysik, Universität Ulm, D-89069 Ulm — ²618 Escondido Circle, Livermore CA 94550

We investigate the laser–induced transport of a single atom from one potential well to the neighbor potential well in a far off–resonance optical lattice. For complete transfer we apply a sequence of narrow–band laser pulses in a Raman configuration. We develop an idealized analytical model and also perform a numerical analysis which accounts for the actual vibrational structure of the optical lattice.
