Efficient all-optical production of large [superscript 6]Li quantum gases using D[subscript 1] gray-molasses cooling

We use a gray molasses operating on the D[subscript 1] atomic transition to produce degenerate quantum gases of [superscript 6]Li with a large number of atoms. This sub-Doppler cooling phase allows us to lower the initial temperature of 10[superscript 9] atoms from 500 to 40 μK in 2 ms. We observe t...
