The temperature of the remaining cold super(87) Rb atoms connned in a vapor cell magneto-optical trap after two-step photoioniza tion has been measured. In the two-step photoioniza tion process, the first excita tion laser is served by the cooling laser and the second excitation laser is served by a...
