Simulated Laser Cooling and Magneto-Optical Trapping of Group IV Atoms
Geoffrey Zheng, Jianwei Wang, Mohit Verma +3
We present a scheme for laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of the Group IV (a.k.a. Group 14 or tetrel) atoms silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), and lead (Pb). These el…
High density loading and collisional loss of laser cooled molecules in an optical trap
Varun Jorapur, Thomas K. Langin, Qian Wang +2
We report optical trapping of laser-cooled molecules at sufficient density to observe molecule-molecule collisions for the first time in a bulk gas. SrF molecules from a red-detune…
Towards improved loading, cooling, and trapping of molecules in magneto-optical traps
Thomas K. Langin, David DeMille
Recent experiments have demonstrated direct cooling and trapping of diatomic and triatomic molecules in magneto-optical traps (MOTs). However, even the best molecular MOTs to date…
Polarization Enhanced Deep Optical Dipole Trapping of -cooled Polar Molecules
Thomas K. Langin, Varun Jorapur, Yuqi Zhu +2
We demonstrate loading of SrF molecules into an optical dipole trap (ODT) via in-trap -cooling. We find that this cooling can be optimized by a proper choice of relative ODT and…
