Abstract:We present a detachable, cascaded modular cesium loading source based on a 2D
magneto-optical trap (MOT). Our design utilizes only a single beam of
mixed cooling and repumping light that is split evenly into five
discrete trapping regions, each with horizontal and vertical beams.
The pre-aligned, single-beam design makes our module suitable for
miniaturization. The generated cold atomic beam serves to load a 3D
MOT, whose loading rate we use to characterize the efficiency of our
