15. In decreasing the trap depth, the atom temperature decreased monotonically while the atom density remained almost constant, leading to a net increase in phase-space density. This fact may infer the manifestation of evaporative cooling in 10 ms of optical trapping.
16. 1 states as well as the reduced trap depth.
17. We assumed φ to be constant to simplify the discussion because the change of φ was estimated to be within 50% in the loading process.
