Phys. Rev. A 61, 011403(R) (1999) [4 pages]Simultaneous magneto-optical trapping of two lithium isotopes
We confine 4×108 fermionic 6Li atoms simultaneously with 9×109 bosonic 7Li atoms in a magneto-optical trap based on an all-semiconductor laser system. We optimize the two-isotope sample for sympathetic evaporative cooling. This is an essential step towards the production of a quantum-degenerate gas of fermionic lithium atoms. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
