About the paper

Abstract

This paper describes our milestone results creating an optical frequency standard on cold strontium atoms in FSUE VNIIFTRI. We demonstrate first-stage and second-stage laser cooling of strontium-88 atoms captured in a magneto-optical trap. Also, we figure out numbers of atoms and their temperatures after both cooling stages, recapture rate from the first to the second trap. About 310 atoms were received after two cooling stages, at the temperature of about 2.5 K. The next step we describe is trapping cold atoms in an optical lattice. Experimental setup and configuration of the optical lattice are demonstrated. We have calculated the depth of the potential and discovered the number of atoms trapped in the optical lattice, which appeared to be about 10. Currently, our laboratory is working on spectroscopy clock transition
