Direct magneto-optical compression of an effusive atomic beam for high-resolution focused ion beam application

G. ten Haaf, T. C. H. de Raadt, G. P. Offermans +4

An atomic rubidium beam formed in a 70 mm long two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D MOT), directly loaded from a collimated Knudsen source, is analyzed using laser-induced fluo…
