Abstract
The evanescent light field created by total internal reflection at a dielectric-vacuum interface has tight spatial confinement and high local intensity. These properties become more robust when a dual layer of dielectric thin films with different thicknesses is deposited on a planar dielectric surface. Optical construction is promising in nanoscale trapping of absorbed atoms congregating at extreme light field intensity distribution regions on the dielectric surface. Here, we theoretically demonstrate the controllable two-dimensional surface optical lattices based on the evanescent electric field generated by the Hermite-Gaussian light beam. By considering the coupling of lattice to quadrupole-active atomic transitions, we show that the topologies cannot just have high stability, but also the optical potential deep, and thus the dynamic trapping can be governed by changing the design parameters of the optical construction. We expect that this study may contribute to providing another unique method for fabricating spatially complicated two-dimensional nanostructures.
