A versatile dual-species Zeeman slower for caesium and ytterbium
S. A. Hopkins, K. Butler, R. Freytag +5
We describe the design, construction and operation of a versatile dual-species Zeeman slower for both Cs and Yb, which is easily adaptable for use with other alkali metals and alka…
Direct loading of a large Yb MOT on the transition
A Guttridge, S A Hopkins, S L Kemp +6
We report a robust technique for laser frequency stabilisation that enables the reproducible loading of in excess of 10 Yb atoms from a Zeeman slower directly into a magneto-…
Sub-millikelvin dipolar molecules in a radio-frequency magneto-optical trap
E. B. Norrgard, D. J. McCarron, M. H. Steinecker +2
We demonstrate a scheme for magneto-optically trapping strontium monofluoride (SrF) molecules at temperatures one order of magnitude lower and phase space densities three orders of…
Modeling magneto-optical trapping of CaF molecules
M. R. Tarbutt, T. C. Steimle
Magneto-optical trapping forces for molecules are far weaker than for alkali atoms because the photon scattering rate is reduced when there are multiple ground states, and because…
Production and characterization of a dual species magneto-optical trap of cesium and ytterbium
S. L. Kemp, K. L. Butler, R. Freytag +4
We describe an apparatus designed to trap and cool a Yb and Cs mixture. The apparatus consists of a dual species effusive oven source, dual species Zeeman slower, magneto-optical t…
