Abstract
We report the observation of significant enhancement in the transfer of laser-cooled $^{87}\text{R}\text{b}$ atoms between two vertically separated magneto-optical traps (MOTs) when an appropriately tuned and aligned hollow laser beam was used. In the experimental setup, the lower MOT was loaded from a continuous flux of atoms ejected from the upper MOT by a resonant push beam. The observed enhancement appears to be mainly due to a slowing down of atoms by the hollow beam after being ejected from the upper MOT.
