Abstract
We have theoretically constructed light fields that can generate optical potentials representing rectangular arrays of dark optical traps on the surface of a torus. The arrays are not diffraction-limited, and their period can in principle be deeply sub-wavelength. We discuss the challenges anticipated in realising such potentials which will be of great interest for quantum simulations.
