Dipole trapping of mercury — •Sascha Heider, Thorsten Groh, and Simon Stellmer — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Bonn, Nußallee 12, 53115 Bonn, Germany

Mercury is the heaviest, non-radioactive laser-coolable element in the periodic table. With seven naturally occuring isotopes and deep UV transitions (185 nm) suitable for high resolution imaging, mercury is a promising candidate for realizing a future multipurpose quantum gas machine.

We already achieved laser cooling of all seven isotopes on the 1S03P1 (254 nm) transition to sub-Doppler temperatures and high atom numbers [PRA 105, 033106].

For further cooling we currently deploy a high power optical dipole trap (300 W at 1070 nm) to overcome the very low polarizability.

Keywords: dipole trap; laser cooling; ultracold atoms; UV transitions; quantum gas
