In our experiment, we trap a single atom at a distance of 200 nm from the surface of a WGM bottle microresonator using a standing-wave optical dipole trap that is created by retroreflecting a focused light field from the resonator surface [2]. The concomitant position-dependent light shift detunes the atomic transition from the resonator. We counteract this light shift by superposing a compensation light with the dipole trap that shifts the atomic transition back into resonance [3]. Using this method, we observe a vacuum Rabi-splitting in the excitation spectrum of the coupled system, which demonstrates that we reach the strong coupling regime.
