Abstract
We report on a narrow-linewidth cooling of Li atoms using the transition in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelength regime. By combining the traditional red magneto-optical trap (MOT) at 671 nm and the UV MOT at 323 nm, we obtain a cold sample of atoms with a temperature of 58 K. Furthermore, we demonstrate a high efficiency magnetic transport for Li atoms with the help of the UV MOT. Finally, we obtain atoms with a temperature of 296 K at a magnetic gradient of 198 G/cm in the science chamber with a good vacuum environment and large optical access.
