Optical cycling in polyatomic molecules with complex hyperfine structure
Yi Zeng, Arian Jadbabaie, Ashay N. Patel +3
We have developed and demonstrated a scheme to achieve rotationally-closed photon cycling in polyatomic molecules with complex hyperfine structure and sensitivity to hadronic symme…
Zeeman-Sisyphus Deceleration for Heavy Molecules with Perturbed Excited-State Structure
Hiromitsu Sawaoka, Alexander Frenett, Abdullah Nasir +4
We demonstrate and characterize Zeeman-Sisyphus (ZS) deceleration of a beam of ytterbium monohydroxide (YbOH). Our method uses a combination of large magnetic fields ( 2.5 T)…
Direct observation of the Yb(4f13 6s2)F states and accurate determination of the YbF ionization energy
Thomas D. Persinger, Jiande Han, Anh T. Le +2
YbF has been identified as a molecule that can be used to investigate charge-parity symmetry violations that are beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Cooling to sub-milli…
Inner-shell excitation in the YbF molecule and its impact on laser cooling
Chi Zhang, Chaoqun Zhang, Lan Cheng +2
The YbF molecule is a sensitive system for measuring the electron's electric dipole moment. The precision of this measurement can be improved by direct laser cooling of the molecul…
Fine and hyperfine interactions in YbOH and YbOH
Nickolas H. Pilgram, Arian Jadbabaie, Yi Zeng +2
The odd isotopologues of ytterbium monohydroxide, YbOH, have been identified as promising molecules in which to measure parity (P) and time reversal (T) violating physi…
Observation and laser spectroscopy of ytterbium monomethoxide, YbOCH
Benjamin L. Augenbraun, Zack D. Lasner, Alexander Frenett +4
We describe a laser spectroscopic study of ytterbium monomethoxide, YbOCH, a species of interest to searches for time-reversal symmetry violation using laser-cooled molecules.…
