Narrowline Laser Cooling and Spectroscopy of Molecules via Stark States

Kameron Mehling, Justin J. Burau, Logan E. Hillberry +5

The electronic energy level structure of yttrium monoxide (YO) provides a long-lived, low-lying state ideal for high-precision molecular spectroscopy, narrowline laser cool…

Collisions of Spin-polarized YO Molecules for Single Partial Waves

Justin J. Burau, Kameron Mehling, Matthew D. Frye +4

Efficient sub-Doppler laser cooling and optical trapping of YO molecules offer new opportunities to study collisional dynamics in the quantum regime. Confined in a crossed optical…

Blue-Detuned Magneto-Optical Trap of Molecules

Justin J. Burau, Parul Aggarwal, Kameron Mehling +1

Direct laser cooling of molecules has reached a phase space density exceeding 10 in optical traps, but with rather small molecular numbers. To progress towards quantum degen…

High Phase-Space Density of Laser-Cooled Molecules in an Optical Lattice

Yewei Wu, Justin J. Burau, Kameron Mehling +2

We report laser cooling and trapping of yttrium monoxide (YO) molecules in an optical lattice. We show that gray molasses cooling remains exceptionally efficient for YO molecules i…

UCIRC2: An Infrared Cloud Monitor for EUSO-SPB2

Rebecca Diesing, Khadijat Durojaiye, Seamus Flannery +6

We describe the design and implementation of the University of Chicago Infrared Camera 2 (UCIRC2) built for monitoring cloud coverage during the EUSO-SPB2 flight (the second genera…
