A continuous atom laser would be a promising source for quantum sensing, providing a high-flux, low-divergence beam while avoiding measurement dead time [1]. We plan to outcouple such a beam from a Bose-Einstein condensate that we can continuously sustain [2]. Our approach sends a Sr beam from an oven through a sequence of spatially separated laser cooling stages till the atoms accumulate in a protected area where they condense. Our next steps will be to enhance the purity of the BEC and to outcouple a continuous atom laser beam using a three-photon transfer to an untrapped state [3].
