Fig. 1. (a) Schematic diagram of the transport setup from MOT to the optical cavity mode. The 1064 nm ODT and 780 nm repumping laser beams are combined with a dichroic mirror and focused through an achromatic lens. The atoms are trapped in the 850 nm optical lattice, and the 780 nm probe laser is along the optical cavity axis, shown in the upper right. The 850 nm and 780 nm lasers are coupled into the optical cavity mode from the HT cavity mirror. HT, high-transmission cavity mirror; LT, low-transmission cavity mirror; (b) Experimental time sequence; T₁, T₂, T₃, and T₄ are different values in followed transport strategies. The ω_c is the optical cavity resonant frequency, and the ω_scan is the scanning width of the 780 nm probe frequency.
