Characteristics of unconventional Rb magneto-optical traps
K. N. Jarvis, B. E. Sauer, M. R. Tarbutt
We study several new magneto-optical trapping configurations in Rb. These unconventional MOTs all use type-II transitions, where the angular momentum of the ground state is…

Blue-detuned magneto-optical trap
K. N. Jarvis, J. A. Devlin, T. E. Wall +2
We present the properties and advantages of a new magneto-optical trap (MOT) where blue-detuned light drives `type-II' transitions that have dark ground states. Using Rb, we…
