Order of Magnitude Improved Optical Trapping of Molecules Through Transverse Cooling

Abdullah Nasir, Annika Lunstad, Mingda Li +5

We demonstrate a two-dimensional Sisyphus laser cooling method that increases the number of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) molecules loaded into a magneto-optical trap by a factor…

Design and Performance of a Heated Gas Injector for Producing Cold Molecular Beams

Avneesh Verma, Jack Mango, Shungo Fukaya +4

We realize an injector device that supplies warm gas directly into a cryogenic environment. This injector has several advantageous features, including robustness, rigidity, simple…

Optical Trapping of SrOH Molecules for Dark Matter and T-violation Searches

Hiromitsu Sawaoka, Abdullah Nasir, Annika Lunstad +4

We report an optical dipole trap of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) with 1400(300) trapped molecules. Through optical pumping, we access vibrational states that are proposed for imp…

Thermal Emission of Strontium in a Cryogenic Buffer Gas Beam Source

Andrew Winnicki, Zack D. Lasner, John M. Doyle

We demonstrate production of cold atomic strontium (Sr) and strontium-containing molecules (SrOH) in a cryogenic buffer gas beam source via direct heating of strontium oxide (SrO)…
