Abstract

We report the confinement of large clouds of ultracold $^{85} Rb$ atoms in a standing-wave dipole trap formed by the two counterpropagating modes of a high- $Q$ ring cavity. Studying the properties of this trap, we demonstrate loading of higher-order transverse cavity modes and excite recoil-induced resonances.
