TY  - JOUR
AB  - Long-baseline atom interferometers, such as the one to be built by the AION collaboration, require ultra-cold atomic clouds. These are produced by trapping the atoms in magneto-optical traps (MOTs) using high-power, narrow-linewidth lasers. We report on the laser and optical master-slave injection-locked system used to address the 1S0-3P1 strontium transition at 689 nm and on the trapping of strontium atoms in a narrowband MOT. We demonstrate the quality of the injection through the characterization of the injection lock using an easy-to-assemble method that uses a double-pass acousto-optic modulator to generate and detect a heterodyne beatnote. The reported system is used to produce an atomic cloud at a temperature of 812(43) nK in a narrowband red MOT.
