Repumping of Strontium Atoms in a Magneto-Optical Trap on Singlet Transitions

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Repumping channels in a magneto-optical trap of 87Sr atoms in the singlet region are proposed, a calculation of the population levels is presented, and a twofold increase in the number of atoms is obtained experimentally.
