A versatile all-optical Bose-Einstein condensates apparatus.
We report on the construction of an all-optical Bose-Einstein condensate apparatus by using a CO2 laser trap. We also report on measurements of the trap frequency by applying a periodic perturbation to the trap potential. The derived trap parameters agree well with the design parameters.
