摘要：

We report a compact (<20 cm(3)), robust source for producing a bright flux of cold atoms, which can be loaded efficiently into a magnetic guide. A continuous flux of up to 8 x 10(9) Rb-87 atoms/s have been produced from this 2D+ vapor cell MOT. The flux had a divergence of 12.5 mrad and velocity could be controlled in the range 2-15 m/s. This flux was coupled continuously into a magnetic guide with high efficiency. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
