Optical pumping of ${5s4d}^1{\mathrm{D}}_2$ strontium atoms for laser cooling and imaging

Jens Samland, Shayne Bennetts, Chun-Chia Chen +3

We present a faster repumping scheme for strontium magneto-optical traps operating on the broad ${5{\mathrm{s}}^2}^1{\mathrm{S}}_0-{5s5p}^1{\mathrm{P}}_1$ laser cooling tran…
