In this final year project, 2 tunable laser systems are constructed for the purpose of cooling and trapping 87Rb atoms in the Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT). Both lasers are interference- lter stabilized external cavity diode lasers (ECDLs) at 780nm. The power of the cooling laser is ampli ed with the t...
