Numerical values of data points and figure generation scripts for manuscript "Sawtooth wave adiabatic passage in a grating magneto-optical trap" submitted for publication and available on ArXiv (2602.06230).
This data set demonstrates sawtooth wave adiabatic passage (SWAP) in a grating magneto-optical trap (MOT) operating on the intercombination transition of neutral strontium. From numerical simulations of SWAP using our laser beam geometry, we find that SWAP provides greater cooling than triangle wave frequency modulation despite the complex polarization environment of a grating MOT. The simulation is confirmed by experimental results, which show a factor of two improvement in transfer efficiency between a dipole-allowed transition grating MOT and an intercombination transition grating MOT.
The data show that the intercombination line grating MOT can trap up to three million strontium atoms at an average temperature of 4.9 microkelvin with a lifetime of approximately 0.7 seconds.
Instructions on reproducing the figures in the manuscript are included in 4097_README.txt.
