Abstract
This work describes the assembly and use of an apparatus for laser cooling and trapping of atomic strontium in a broad-transition magneto-optical trap and magnetic trap. An all-diode 461nm laser system is used to drive the main cooling transition, 1S0 → 1P1. The lifetimes, loading rates, and temperatures of the trapped atoms are characterized.
