We demonstrate a two-dimensional (2D) grating magneto-optical trap (GMOT) with a single input cooling laser beam and a planar diffraction grating using 87Rb. This configuration increases experimental access when compared with a traditional 2D magneto-optical trap (MOT). As described in the paper, the output flux is several hundred million rubidium atoms/s at a mean velocity of 16.5(9) m/s and a velocity distribution of 4(3) m/s standard deviation. We use the atomic beam from the 2D GMOT to demonstrate loading of a three-dimensional (3D) GMOT with 2.46(7) x 10(8) atoms. Methods to improve output flux are discussed.
