Wavelength modulation laser spectroscopy of NO at 17 m
Y. Wang, J. Rodewald, O. Lopez +4
Using a mid-infrared quantum cascade laser and wavelength modulation absorption spectroscopy, we measure the frequencies of ro-vibrational transitions of NO in the 17 m regi…
Blue-detuned magneto-optical trap
K. N. Jarvis, J. A. Devlin, T. E. Wall +2
We present the properties and advantages of a new magneto-optical trap (MOT) where blue-detuned light drives `type-II' transitions that have dark ground states. Using Rb, we…
Ultracold molecules for measuring the electron's electric dipole moment
J. Lim, J. R. Almond, M. A. Trigatzis +5
We demonstrate one-dimensional sub-Doppler laser cooling of a beam of YbF molecules to 100 K. This is a key step towards a measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment u…
Three-dimensional Doppler, polarization-gradient, and magneto-optical forces for atoms and molecules with dark states
J. A. Devlin, M. R. Tarbutt
We theoretically investigate the damping and trapping forces in a three-dimensional magneto-optical trap (MOT), by numerically solving the optical Bloch equations. We focus on the…
An intense, cold, velocity-controlled molecular beam by frequency-chirped laser slowing
S. Truppe, H. J. Williams, N. J. Fitch +5
Using frequency-chirped radiation pressure slowing, we precisely control the velocity of a pulsed CaF molecular beam down to a few m/s, compressing its velocity spread by a factor…
Modeling sympathetic cooling of molecules by ultracold atoms
Jongseok Lim, Matthew D. Frye, Jeremy M. Hutson +1
We model sympathetic cooling of ground-state CaF molecules by ultracold Li and Rb atoms. The molecules are moving in a microwave trap, while the atoms are trapped magnetically. We…
