A Laser System for Cooling of Yb Atoms — •Benjamin Nagler, Tobias Eul, Carsten Lippe, Benjamin Gänger, Jan Phieler, Thomas Pinnel, Christina Weirich, and Artur Widera — Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, Fachbereich Physik und Landesforschungszentrum Optimas, Erwin-Schrödinger-Str. 46, 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany

Quantum gases have proven useful tools to gain insight into fundamental phenomena of quantum physics. The working horse for preparation of these systems is laser cooling of dilute atomic gases. Here we report on the current state of preparing an ultracold gas of Ytterbium atoms, focusing on the laser system developed. This features blue light generation by second harmonic generation several hundreds of MHz detuned from the atomic transition for operating a Zeeman slower, stabilized onto an atomic resonance. We will show key features of the laser system and present measurements of the system characteristics.
