Embodiment approach

[0040] (4) According to figure 1 Build a magneto-optical trap optical path layout unit, wherein the cooling light in the z direction from 40 to 41 can be replaced or can be any of the following combinations (the first cooling laser is represented by L1, and the second cooling laser is represented by L2) : (a) (L2)+(L2); (b) (L1 L2)+(L2); (c) (L1 L2)+(L1 L2); (d) (L1)+(L1 L2); ( e) (L1) + (L2). Moreover, the optical path arrangement corresponding to the x, y, and z axes can be exchanged arbitrarily to meet the requirements of different experimental parameters. In the case of insufficient power of the second cooling laser, an appropriate optical path arrangement can also be selected to achieve cooling. The variation of the peak fluorescence signal of the atomic group with the two-photon detuning under different combinations is as follows: Figure 5 shown.
