Simultaneous sub-Doppler laser cooling of fermionic ${}^6$Li and ${}^{40}$K on the D${}_1$ line: Theory and Experiment

Franz Sievers, Norman Kretzschmar, Diogo Rio Fernandes +7

We report on simultaneous sub-Doppler laser cooling of fermionic ${}^6$Li and ${}^{40}$K using the D${}_1$ optical transitions. We compare experimental results to a numerical simulation…
