A robust and modular cesium magneto-optical trap using divergent laser beams
The research developed a robust and modular cesium magneto-optical trap (MOT) optimized for inertial quantum sensing. By using diverging cooling laser beams and a compact, modular cage system, the system maintains stable operation with low atom number fluctuations over 50 hours. This configuration achieves sub-10 μK temperatures, making it suitable for precision metrology applications.
