Magneto-optical trapping of a diatomic molecule
J. F. Barry, D. J. McCarron, E. B. Norrgard +2
Laser cooling and trapping are central to modern atomic physics. The workhorse technique in cold-atom physics is the magneto-optical trap (MOT), which combines laser cooling with a…
Laser cooling of a diatomic molecule
E. S. Shuman, J. F. Barry, D. DeMille
It has been roughly three decades since laser cooling techniques produced ultracold atoms, leading to rapid advances in a vast array of fields. Unfortunately laser cooling has not…
Radiative force from optical cycling on a diatomic molecule
E. S. Shuman, J. F. Barry, D. R. Glenn +1
We demonstrate a scheme for optical cycling in the polar, diatomic molecule strontium monofluoride (SrF) using the $X ^2Σ^+\toA^2Π_{1/2}$ electronic transition. SrF's highly diagon…
