All-optical production of Bose-Einstein condensates with 2 Hz repetition rate

Abstract
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of neutral atoms constitute an important quantum system for fundamental research and precision metrology. Many applications require short preparation times of BECs, for example, for optimized data acquisition rates in scientific applications, and reduced dead times and improved bandwidths for atomic quantum sensors. Here, we report on the generation of rubidium BECs with a repetition rate of more than 2 Hz. The system relies on forced evaporation in a dynamically adjusted optical potential, which is created by the spatial modulation of laser beams. Our system provides a versatile source of the ubiquitous rubidium BECs, and promotes their exploitation for high-precision atom interferometers.
