Abstract

A novel optical scheme to generate an "optimal" trap, which maximizes the trap depth, and greatly reduces the light-induced perturbations to the atoms is presented. This, in particular, is achieved by surrounding a dark volume with a light envelope of an almost minimal surface area for a given volume. The stiffness of the walls, combined with the large detuning allowed by the efficient distribution of light intensity, yield a very low photon scattering rate for the trapped atoms.
