Photoionization cross sections of the 5S${}_{1/2}$ and 5P${}_{3/2}$ states of Rb in simultaneous magneto-optical trapping of Rb and Hg

M. Witkowski, R. Munoz-Rodriguez, A. Raczyński +5

We report the measurement of the photoionization cross sections of the 5S${}_{1/2}$ and 5P${}_{3/2}$ states of ${}^{87}$Rb in a two-species Hg and Rb magneto-optical trap (MOT) by…
