Two-stage magneto-optical trapping and narrow-line cooling of ${}^6$Li atoms to high phase-space density

Jimmy Sebastian, Christian Gross, Ke Li +3

We report an experimental study of peak and phase-space density of a two-stage magneto-optical trap (MOT) of 6-Li atoms, which exploits the narrower $2S_{1/2}\to 3P_{3/2}$…
