Confocal cavities allow the resonant enhancement of these interesting transverse mode superpositions, and put deep off-resonant dark-field seeking dipole traps within reach of low-power diode lasers.

Above left: mean intensity shown for central 40% of the cavity. The solid lines show where the forward beam has fallen to e-2 of its on-axis intensity. Above: viewed on a wavelength scale around the cavity centre, the modulation due to interference between the counter-propagating beams is apparent. Here, l = 100 mm,  = 780nm,  = 2. Left: depth of modulation due to interference between forward and return beams. Black=0, white=100%. 0 1 L/R1 Intensity distribution around the centre of a confocal cavity.Dashed and solid lines indicate the nodal and antinodal planes; the dotted line shows where the lowest part of the trap wall is maximum. Logarithmic contours (four per decade) refer to the peak intensity on axis. l = 100 mm, l = 780 nm, a = 0.492. Intensity distribution when the cavity mirrors are 0.1 mm from their confocal separation (Dl/l = 0.001), for r2 = 0.99, t2 = 0.01. The nodal surfaces, shown dashed, are now curved, reflecting the increase in Gouy phase with mode number. Central and trapping intensities are reduced by about a third. • three different views of physics: RAY OPTICS • 2 round trips before repeating • inverted image after 1 round trip • returning beam  forward beam Applications: • trapping of spectrally complex atoms and molecules • investigation of vortices in quantum degenerate gases14 • coupling between adjacent microtraps15 • cooling via coupling to cavity radiation field16-18 R2 R1 GAUSSIAN BEAMS HALF TRIP ROUND TRIP even odd even CAVITY MODES Cartesian i + j Hermite-Gaussian • half modes simultaneously resonant • (anti-)symmetric image = • superposition of even(odd) modes cylindrical 2p + |m| Laguerre-Gaussian Amplitudes ap0 of mode components forming the complete five-component optical bottle beam with =2.
