Abstract

We describe a compact and versatile multi-frequency laser system for laser-cooling potassium atoms, by frequency doubling a fiber-optic telecom beam $simeq 1534$ or $1540$ nm. Low-power fiber-based telecom lasers and components generate a single beam containing the cooling and repumper half frequencies, subsequently amplified by high-power amplifier. A final free-space SHG stage generates a single beam with typically 2.5 W at quasi-resonant frequencies $simeq 767$ or $770$ nm with high-quality mode and ready for laser cooling. This allowed to trap up to 4times109 41K atoms with fast loading times (2.5 s) at sub-Doppler temperatures of 16 μK. This opens promising perspectives towards versatile and transportable ultracold atom setups.
