15. The evaporation ramp P (t) = Pi / (1+Ft/ tf) β is used where F=-1+ (Pi / Pf) 1/β. Pi and Pf are the initial and final laser powers, respectively, tf is the desired ramping time, and β controls the slope of the ramp (β3). This ramp is modified from that given by K. M. O'Hara, M. E. Gehm, S. R. Granade, and J. E. Thomas, Phys. Rev. A 64, 051403 (R) (2001), in that it ends at a predetermined power, P (tf) = Pf. 10.1103/PhysRevA.64.051403
16. At Pf =180mW the trap depth measured along the horizontal axes is U0 =5.5μK. Along the gravitational acceleration the trap depth is reduced to =1.3μK.
