摘要
We present two all-optical approaches based on dipole force traps to prepare quantum-degenerate gases. Evaporative cooling in a gravito-optical surface trap is discussed as a prospective way to create a Bose-Einstein condensate of cesium and a two-dimensional quantum gas. Sympathetic cooling of lithium by laser-cooled cesium in a quasi-electrostatic trap is explored as a non-evaporative route to quantum degeneracy of bosons and fermions. We discuss the basic concepts of these approaches and report on progress in our corresponding experiments.
