Abstract
We report a compact (<20 cm 3), robust source for producing a bright flux of cold atoms, which can be loaded efficiently into a magnetic guide. A continuous flux of up to 8 × 10 9 87Rb atoms/s have been produced from this 2D+ vapor cell MOT. The flux had a divergence of 12.5 mrad and velocity could be controlled in the range 2–15 m/s. This flux was coupled continuously into a magnetic guide with high efficiency.
