Hyperfine structure of the state of AlCl and its relevance to laser cooling and trapping

J. R. Daniel, J. C. Shaw, C. Wang +4

The majority of molecules proposed for laser cooling and trapping experiments have -type ground states. Specifically, states have cycling transitions analogous to D1-lines…

Cold CH radicals for laser cooling and trapping

J. C. Schnaubelt, J. C. Shaw, D. J. McCarron

Ultracold CH radicals promise a fruitful testbed for probing quantum-state controllable organic chemistry. In this work, we calculate CH vibrational branching ratios (VBRs) and rot…

A stable 2 W continuous-wave 261.5 nm laser for cooling and trapping aluminum monochloride

J. C. Shaw, S. Hannig, D. J. McCarron

We present a high-power tunable deep-ultraviolet (DUV) laser that uses two consecutive cavity enhanced doubling stages with LBO and CLBO crystals to produce the fourth harmonic of…

Resonance Raman optical cycling for high-fidelity fluorescence detection of molecules

J. C. Shaw, J. C. Schnaubelt, D. J. McCarron

We propose and demonstrate a novel technique that combines Raman scattering and optical cycling in molecules with diagonal Franck-Condon factors. This resonance Raman optical cycli…

Bright, continuous beams of cold free radicals

J. C. Shaw, D. J. McCarron

We demonstrate a cryogenic buffer gas-cooled molecular beam source capable of producing bright, continuous beams of cold and slow free radicals via laser ablation over durations of…

Deflection of a Molecular Beam Using the Bichromatic Stimulated Force

S. E. Galica, L. Aldridge, D. J. McCarron +2

We demonstrate that a bichromatic standing-wave laser field can exert a significantly larger force on a molecule than ordinary radiation pressure. Our experiment measures the defle…
