14. 56Fe atoms leave the laser cooling region in the ground state, provided a completely saturated transition [E. te Sligte et al., Microelectron. Eng. 67,68, 664 (2003)]. In addition, there are 8.2% of other iron isotopes that do not couple to the SW laser field. This implies that only ≃ 11% of all atoms are affected by the SW.
