Towards a lithium quantum gas microscope for small quantum systems — •Michael Hagemann, Andreas Kerkmann, Mathis Fischer, Benno Rem, Klaus Sengstock, and Christof Weitenberg — Institute for Laser Physics, University of Hamburg, Luruper Chaussee 149, 22761 Hamburg, Germany
We are setting up a new quantum gas microscope for the preparation and detection of degenerate samples of 6Li / 7Li atoms to study strong correlations in small quantum systems. The setup consists of a compact 2D- / 3D-MOT chamber without further transport optimized for short cycle times.
We report on the realization of a molecular BEC of fermionic 6Li atoms using an all-optical cooling procedure including lambda enhanced gray molasses and evaporation in a crossed optical dipole trap. We show that we can drive a well-controlled intensity ramp for the evaporation with an extinction ratio in laser power of more than three orders of magnitude by using a wave plate in a motorized rotating mount alone, thereby avoiding the thermal effects in acousto-optical modulators.
In addition, we will show the progress of the installation of the high-resolution microscope objective and the loading of the BEC into a 2D triangular lattice and a 1D accordion lattice.
