To optimize the signal-to-noise ratio in the image, we use an rf π pulse to transfer the remaining 9 / 2, - 7 / 2 atoms to the 9 / 2, - 9 / 2 state and then image with light resonant with the cycling transition. Just prior to this rf pulse, we clean out the 9 / 2, - 9 / 2 state by optically pumping these atoms to the upper hyperfine ground state (f = 7 / 2).
