Towards the creation of a two-dimensional optical tweezer array using a liquid crystal spatial light modulator

by Johanna Hennebichler

Abstract:

In this thesis, we study the generation of two-dimensional optical tweezer arrays via the phase modulation of a light field by means of a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC SLM). The final goal of our main experiment is to explore quantum simulation using Rydberg atoms of erbium trapped in optical tweezer arrays generated by an LC SLM.
