Abstract

An integrating sphere with a diameter of 10 cm is developed for cooling atoms. The maximum number of 2 × 1010 cold atoms is obtained from a background vapor with 220 mW cooling laser power. The cold atom number can be increased by further increasing the cooling power. Such cold atom source would have potential use for Raman–Ramsey atomic clock with good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
