Sketch of the experimental setup. The trapping laser (532 nm) is split into two beams by a polarizing beam splitter and coupled into single-mode optical fibers. The beams eventually enter the grounded experimental chamber through one-inch windows on either side. Inside, they are focused by two lenses with a focal length of 8 mm to form a one-micrometer trap.
