I thought more about the coupling beam standing wave acting as a FORT for the ground state and we thought it might be heating up the atoms. I'm trying to prove it so I had the coupling beams on but no probe beam, and tried to measure the temperature of the atoms after the coupling beams were turned off. I didn't see any change in atom number or temperature with the beams on or off.

Took Beam size measurement of Probe beam, it had a 1/e^2 of 2.6mm, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was between 2.55 and 2.65, maybe a litte more. The coupling beam were measured a few weeks ago and were each 1.5mm. I took these measurements with the Thorlabs beam profiler.
