Abstract

We report on the realization of large assembled arrays of more than 300 single 87^{87}Rb atoms trapped in optical tweezers in a cryogenic environment at 4\sim4~K. For arrays with Na=324N_{\rm a}=324 atoms, the assembly process results in defect-free arrays in 37%\sim37\% of the realizations. To achieve this high assembling efficiency, we equalize the loading probability of the traps within the array using a closed-loop optimization of the power of each optical tweezers, based on the analysis of the fluorescence time-traces of atoms loaded in the traps.
