Abstract

Deceleration of an atomic beam of calcium was achieved by using the radiation of a frequency double diode laser at 845.2 nm. In order to enhance the violet beam generation the doubling crystal, KNbO₃, is placed inside an external build-up cavity. The laser beam at 423 nm, counter- propagating with the atomic beam, is put into resonance with the ¹S₀ yields ¹P₁ transition of Ca. To keep the laser in resonance with the atomic transition during the cooling process, the Zeeman technique is used.
