Pathway Towards Optical Cycling and Laser Cooling of Functionalized Arenes
Debayan Mitra, Zack D. Lasner, Guo-Zhu Zhu +8
Rapid and repeated photon cycling has enabled precision metrology and the development of quantum information systems using a variety of atoms and simple molecules. Extending optica…
Accurate prediction and measurement of vibronic branching ratios for laser cooling linear polyatomic molecules
Chaoqun Zhang, Benjamin L. Augenbraun, Zack D. Lasner +3
We report a generally applicable computational and experimental approach to determine vibronic branching ratios in linear polyatomic molecules to the level, including for…
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.…
Branching ratios, radiative lifetimes and transition dipole moments for YbOH
Ephriem Tadesse Mengesha, Anh T. Le, Timothy C. Steimle +5
Medium resolution ( ~ 3 GHz) laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) excitation spectra of a rotationally cold sample of YbOH in the 17300-17950 cm range have been recorded usi…
Laser-Cooled Polyatomic Molecules for Improved Electron Electric Dipole Moment Searches
Benjamin L. Augenbraun, Zack D. Lasner, Alexander Frenett +4
Doppler and Sisyphus cooling of YbOH are achieved and studied. This polyatomic molecule has high sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model and represents a new class…
Statistical sensitivity of phase measurements via laser-induced fluorescence with optical cycling detection
Zack Lasner, David DeMille
In atomic and molecular phase measurements using laser-induced fluorescence detection, optical cycling can enhance the effective photon detection efficiency and hence improve sensi…
