Abstract

A two-species magneto-optical trap (MOT) for the simultaneous trapping of ⁴⁰K and ⁸⁷Rb was considered. Using a relatively simple four-color diode laser scheme and a single high-power semiconductor amplifier, atom numbers of N_RB=2X10⁹ and N_K=1X10⁷ were obtained. In addition, a pronounced number loss in the ⁴⁰K MOT due to heteronuclear collisions in the presence of trapped ⁸⁷Rb atoms was observed.
