Optical pumping of 5s4d^{1}D_{2} strontium atoms for laser cooling and imaging
We present a faster repumping scheme for strontium magneto-optical traps operating on the broad 5s^{2}^{1}S_{0}−5s5p^{1}P_{1} laser cooling transition. Contrary to existing repumping schemes, we directly address lost atoms that spontaneously decayed to the 5s4d^{1}D_{2} state, sending them back into...
