Figure 3.7: The principal optical setup for the <strong>la</strong>sers on the experimental<br />
table. Note that the 7 Li principal Zeeman <strong>la</strong>ser is not injected by the MOT<br />
<strong>la</strong>sers, but directly from the fiber via the AOM.<br />
found out that this was due to the fiber acting as a cavity. The beam was<br />
injected into the fiber on the experimental table that vibrated while the<br />
magnetic coils were switched off. The AOM which was installed after<br />
the fiber distorted the beam, such that we nee<strong>de</strong>d a pinhole to clean the<br />
mo<strong>de</strong> again.<br />
In the new setup we addressed all these problems. The AOMs to<br />
switch the beams are now p<strong>la</strong>ced on the table with the master <strong>la</strong>sers,<br />
with no vibrations from the coils switch-off, using beams coming directly<br />
from the amplifiers. This is shown in figure 3.3. A fiber cleaved with an<br />
angle on both ends eliminates the possible creation of a cavity, and the<br />
only optics after the fiber is a single lens which is p<strong>la</strong>ced directly after<br />
the exit of the fiber to collimate the beam, and some steering mirrors.<br />
This gives a virtually perfect Gaussian beam.<br />
The Doppler cooling beam also had to be re<strong>de</strong>signed, as it was taken<br />
after the tapered amplifier, which does not exist anymore. We also<br />
simplified the beam path of the optical pumping beam.<br />
