Vibrational levelsVibrational levels•Electric field in the trap: 6 beams of different polarizations.
•Relative phases not fixed, but relatively stable.
•Interference: intensity and/or polarization modulation.
•Additional optical forces (dipole forces).
•Atoms cooled and localized in the lattice nodes.
•Atomic movement quantized: vibrational energy levels.

Three steps to BECThree steps to BEC1. Magneto-Optical Trap:Magneto-Optical Trap:
temperature 10 mK, density 1010 cm-3
limit – interaction with light.
2. Magnetic Trap:Magnetic Trap:trap in field minimum - only „low-field-seeking” stateslosses at B = 0.
3. Evaporation cooling:Evaporation cooling:forced evaporation of hot atoms, thermalisation by collisions.

Transfer of atoms Transfer of atoms • repetitive pushing by resonant light beam, recapture
in lower MOTcollection speed: 108–1010 s-1
loading of lower MOT: 107–109 s-1
• constant pushing by narrow light beam (Dalibard) flux: ~108 s-1
• magnetic transfer directly into magnetic trap (Hänsch)30% efficiency, complicated.
