Narrow-line magneto-optical trap of titanium atoms
Rowan Duim, Scott Eustice, Jackson Schrott +2
We realize narrow-linewidth magneto-optical traps of Ti, Ti and Ti atoms based on a 1040 nm-wavelength transition, cooling atoms to a minimum temperature in on…
Hyperfine spectroscopy and laser cooling of the fermionic isotopes Ti and Ti
Jackson Schrott, Scott Eustice, Pouya Sadeghpour +5
We report on magneto-optical trapping of the two fermionic isotopes of atomic titanium, Ti and Ti. Unlike the even mass-number isotopes, which were recently laser coo…
High-sensitivity molecular spectroscopy of SrOH using magneto-optical trapping
Annika Lunstad, Hiromitsu Sawaoka, Zack Lasner +5
Polyatomic molecules are projected to be powerful tools in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM), including new CP-violating (CPV) interactions and ultralight dark m…
Optical Trapping of SrOH Molecules for Dark Matter and T-violation Searches
Hiromitsu Sawaoka, Abdullah Nasir, Annika Lunstad +4
We report an optical dipole trap of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) with 1400(300) trapped molecules. Through optical pumping, we access vibrational states that are proposed for imp…
Magneto-optical trapping of a heavy polyatomic molecule for precision measurement
Zack D. Lasner, Alexander Frenett, Hiromitsu Sawaoka +10
We report a magneto-optical trap of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) containing 2000(600) molecules at a temperature of 1.2(3) mK. The lifetime is 91(9) ms, which is limited by decay…
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)…
Zeeman-Sisyphus Deceleration of Molecular Beams
Benjamin L. Augenbraun, Alexander Frenett, Hiromitsu Sawaoka +5
We present a robust, continuous molecular decelerator that employs high magnetic fields and few optical pumping steps. CaOH molecules are slowed, accumulating at low velocities in…
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.…
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…
Direct observation of a highly forbidden optical transition in Sm:SrF
Mohit Verma, Luca Talamo, Hiromitsu Sawaoka +1
The intra-configuration transition in Sm:SrF is forbidden for Sm ions in the octahedrally symmetric substitution sites in SrF.…
Laser frequency stabilization using a transfer interferometer
Shira Jackson, Hiromitsu Sawaoka, Nishant Bhatt +2
We present a laser frequency stabilization system that uses a transfer interferometer to stabilize slave lasers to a reference laser. Our implementation uses off-the-shelf optical…
