  • Optical resonator device with crossed cavities for optically trapping atoms, and applications thereof in an optical atomic clock, a quantum simulator or a quantum computer
    Patent number: 12027280
    Abstract: An optical resonator device (100) with crossed cavities, in particular being configured for optically trapping atoms, comprises a first linear optical resonator (10) extending between first resonator mirrors (11A, 11B) along a first resonator light path (12) and supporting a first resonator mode, a second linear optical resonator (20) extending between second resonator mirrors (21A, 21B) along a second resonator light path (22) and supporting a second resonator mode, wherein the first and second resonator light paths (12, 22) span a main resonator plane, and a carrier device carrying the first and second resonator mirrors (11A, 11B, 21A, 21B), wherein the first and second resonator mirrors (11, 21) are arranged such that the first and second resonator modes cross each other for providing an optical lattice trap (1) in the main resonator plane.
