Abstract

We present a three-dimensional steerable optical tweezer system based on two pairs of acousto-optic deflectors. Radio frequency signals used to steer the optical tweezers are generated by direct digital synthesis, and multiple time averaged cross beam dipole traps can be produced through rapid frequency toggling. We produce arrays of ultracold atomic clouds in both horizontal and vertical planes and use this to demonstrate the three-dimensional nature of this optical tweezer system.
