Compact Dual-Beam Zeeman Slower Captures Increased Rubidium Flux, Eliminates Window Contamination Within 44cm

Summary

A newly designed compact Zeeman slower, utilising two laser beams and a capillary array, significantly enhances the capture of cold atoms, such as rubidium and ytterbium, while virtually eliminating contamination that limits the lifespan of devices used in precision measurement and quantum technologies.
