Abstract

We have modelled and used polarisation spectroscopy to lock a very compact, high-performance extended cavity diode 85 X. laser system to the Rb F s 3t o Fs 4 transition. The laser has a linewidth of 135 kHz. Using this system we have trapped and cooled 1.5 = 10 8 Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap. Atoms remained continuously trapped in the MOT for
