OpticalWall

class OpticalWall(atom, laser, name, options)

Bases: OpticalPotential

OpticalTrap models a focused Gaussian dipole trap.

Provides trap Depth and harmonic frequencies (AxialFrequency, RadialFrequency) derived from the GaussianBeam parameters and atomic properties.

Example:

trap = OpticalTrap(atom, gaussianBeam);
fz = trap.AxialFrequency;
