Abstract

We cool ⁸⁵Rb atoms in an integrating sphere directly from a vapor background using diffuse light generated by multiple reflections of laser beams in the inner surface of the integrating sphere. We compare and analyze the different features of cold ⁸⁵Rb atoms and cold ⁸⁷Rb atoms in diffuse light cooling, which are important in applying ⁸⁵Rb and ⁸⁷Rb isotopes in many experiments on testing fundamental physics.
