I get a decent signal with the TA FORT with only ~220 mW of power. The beam size could be expanded bigger to make a deeper trap.

I think noise might be a problem. I started looking at the fluorescence from the MOT with a photodiode. The signal oscillates at around 120 Hz, the same frequency that the feedback to the laser piezo is oscillating, I think this is changing the frequency of the beam slightly and a different number of atoms is loaded into the MOT. It would also change the number of atoms I detect in the FORT because I use the same laser to look at the fluorescence of the FORT atoms with a photodiode.
