Abstract

Optical trapping and manipulation of neutral particles has led to a variety of experiments from stretching DNA-molecules to trapping and cooling of neutral atoms. An exciting recent outgrowth of the technique is an experimental implementation of atom Bose-Einstein condensation. In this Letter, we propose and demonstrate laser-induced trapping for a new system—a gas of excitons in quantum well structures. We report on the trapping of a highly degenerate Bose gas of excitons in laser-induced traps.
