With the evergrowing interest in quantum cooperativity, comes an ongoing effort to study light-induced correlations in atomic media. In these typically extreme dense regimes, with atomic distances below the scattering lights wavelength, a direct matter-matter coupling is introduced by electric and magnetic interactions. We intend to study light-matter interactions in dense dipolar media with large magnetic moments to explore the impact of magnetic dipole-dipole interactions onto the cooperative response of the sample. With the largest groundstate magnetic moment in the periodic table (10 Bohr-magneton), dysprosium is the perfect choice for these experiments.
This poster reports on our recent work to generate dense ultracold dysprosium clouds utilizing a microscopic optical dipole trap. Further, we give a perspective on future adaptations of this technique with a self-built science cell, that serves as a highly accessible platform to manipulate the atomic cloud. The small dimensions of the cell allow for extremely tight optical dipole trapping and precise magnetic field control at the position of the atoms.
