Engineering the sub-Doppler force in molecular magneto-optical traps
S. Xu, P. Kaebert, M. Stepanova +3
Current dual-frequency magneto-optical traps for ultracold molecules are plagued by sub-Doppler heating effects, making them vastly inferior to standard atomic MOTs. Here we demons…
Characterizing the Zeeman slowing force for CaF molecules
P. Kaebert, M. Stepanova, T. Poll +4
In this paper we investigate the feasibility of Zeeman slowing calcium monofluoride (CaF) molecules originating from a cryogenic buffer gas cell. We measure the $A^2Π_{1/2} (v=0, J…
Maximizing the capture velocity of molecular magneto-optical traps with Bayesian optimization
S Xu, P Kaebert, M Stepanova +3
Magneto-optical trapping (MOT) is a key technique on the route towards ultracold molecular ensembles. However, the realization and optimization of magneto-optical traps with their…
Type-II Zeeman slowing: Characterization and comparison to conventional radiative beam slowing schemes
Maurice Petzold, Paul Kaebert, Philipp Gersema +4
We describe a novel Zeeman slowing method reported in (Petzold et al (2018 New J. Phys. 20 042001)) and compare it to conventional radiative beam slowing schemes. The scheme is des…
A Zeeman slower for diatomic molecules
Maurice Petzold, Paul Kaebert, Philipp Gersema +2
We present a novel slowing scheme for beams of laser-coolable diatomic molecules reminiscent of Zeeman slowing of atomic beams. The scheme results in efficient compression of the 1…
