Abstract
In this work, we discuss a far-off resonance optical dipole trap for cold lithium-7 atoms. A single optical trapping beam was produced by a continuous-wave fiber laser. Using our experimental data, we obtained important parameters of the trap, such as size of the cold atomic cloud, and evaluate the dipole potential and the rate of the trap losses. Information on temperature is acquired from observation of parametric resonances. We investigate the parametric resonances obtained with strong modulation of the trap potential and record superharmonics. We plan to prepare ultra-cold gas of highly-excited lithium atoms and study interactions between Rydberg atoms.
