The radiative lifetime of metastable CO ( $a^{3} Π, v = 0$ )

Joop J. Gilijamse, Steven Hoekstra, Samuel A. Meek +4

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the radiative lifetime of CO in the $a^{3} Π_{1, 2}, v = 0$ state. CO molecules in a beam are prepared in selected rotational…

Electrostatic trapping of metastable NH molecules

Steven Hoekstra, Markus Metsala, Peter C. Zieger +4

We report on the Stark deceleration and electrostatic trapping of $^{14}$ NH ( $a^{1} Δ$ ) radicals. In the trap, the molecules are excited on the spin-forbidden $A^{3} Π \leftarrow a^{1} Δ$ …

Optical pumping of trapped neutral molecules by blackbody radiation

Steven Hoekstra, Joop J. Gilijamse, Boris Sartakov +4

Optical pumping by blackbody radiation is a feature shared by all polar molecules and fundamentally limits the time that these molecules can be kept in a single quantum state in a…
