**10. Conclusion**

We cooled and trapped rubidium atoms in a magneto optical trap and proved the stability of the cloud for different laser intensities. We studied the effect of laser intensity imbalance on cloud formation. We found that the cloud was still visible when the repumping laser intensity was at 1/466 part of its maximum intensity with the cooling laser at its maximum intensity with typical maximum power of 49 mW for each laser. Decreasing the cooling laser intensity to 1/5 of its maximum value produced destruction of the cloud.
