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…
