We demonstrate 1D simultaneous laser cooling of \(^{87}\)Rb and \(^{85}\)Rb atoms using an optical frequency comb. By adjusting the pulse repetition frequency and the offset frequency, the frequency comb spectrum is tuned to ensure that two distinct frequency comb modes are simultaneously red-detune...
