Abstract
We describe the operation of a magnetooptical trap in which we have simultaneously cooled and trapped two different atomic species. Our trap is based on the popular single species magneto-optical trap except that here we have built a superposition of two traps such that the optical paths and many of the optical elements are shared by light beams of two vastly different wavelengths—one for each of the species being investigated.
