Simultaneous Magneto-Optical Trapping of Two Lithium Isotopes
Abstract
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.
