Robust watt-level continuous-wave deep-ultraviolet lasers near 230 nm

J. Cai, M. Stoepper, P. Agarwal +20

Continuous-wave (CW) deep-ultraviolet (DUV) lasers near 230~nm enable laser cooling of AlF, Cd, and Zn, but second-harmonic generation below 237~nm relies in practice on beta-bariu…

Continuous thermochemical sources of AlF molecules

Pulkit Kukreja, Priyansh Agarwal, Maximilian Doppelbauer +10

The AlF molecule, currently subject to laser cooling and trapping efforts, has the advantage that it can be efficiently produced in a thermochemical reaction between sublimated alu…

Magneto-optical trapping of aluminum monofluoride

J. E. Padilla-Castillo, J. Cai, P. Agarwal +6

Magneto-optical trapping of molecules has thus far been restricted to molecules with electronic ground states. These species are chemically reactive and only support a simple…

A large magneto-optical trap of cadmium atoms loaded from a cryogenic buffer gas beam

J. E. Padilla-Castillo, S. Hofsäss, L. Palánki +7

We demonstrate rapid loading of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) of cadmium atoms from a pulsed cryogenic helium buffer gas beam, overcoming strong photoionization losses. Using the $…

Triplet Rydberg states of aluminum monofluoride

N. Walter, M. Doppelbauer, S. Schaller +5

Aluminum monofluoride (AlF) is a suitable molecule for laser cooling and trapping. Such experiments require an extensive spectroscopic characterization of the electronic structure.…

Hyperfine structure and isotope shifts of the transition in atomic zinc

David Röser, J. Eduardo Padilla-Castillo, Ben Ohayon +5

We report absolute frequency, isotope shift, radiative lifetime and hyperfine structure measurements of the (213.8 nm) transition in Zn I using a cryog…
