Two main parts for the project. The coupling and probe beams for the EIT, and the FORT to trap atoms.
1064 FORT
Trying to use two 1064 lasers to trap atoms. The first is a high power, up to 10 Watts, multimode beam that initially traps the atoms. The second is a lower power, but single mode beam that can be used for evaporative cooling.
EIT beams
The coupling and probe beams are created from the the same seed laser, and high frequency AOM's shift the seed laser by 6.8 GHz.
