A high quality, efficiently coupled microwave cavity for trapping cold molecules
D. P. Dunseith, S. Truppe, R. J. Hendricks +3
We characterize a Fabry-Perot microwave cavity designed for trapping atoms and molecules at the antinode of a microwave field. The cavity is fed from a waveguide through a small co…
Magneto-optical trapping forces for atoms and molecules with complex level structures
M. R. Tarbutt
Laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of molecules typically involves multiple transitions driven by several laser frequencies. We analyze how magneto-optical trapping forces…
Vibrational branching ratios and hyperfine structure of BH and its suitability for laser cooling
R. J. Hendricks, D. A. Holland, S. Truppe +2
The simple structure of the BH molecule makes it an excellent candidate for direct laser cooling. We measure the branching ratios for the decay of the state to…
Microwave spectroscopy of Lambda-doublet transitions in the ground state of CH
S. Truppe, R. J. Hendricks, S. K. Tokunaga +2
The Lambda-doublet transitions in CH at 3.3 and 0.7 GHz are unusually sensitive to variations in the fine-structure constant and the electron-to-proton mass ratio. We describe meth…
Radiative Branching Ratios for Excited States of YbF: Application to Laser Cooling
I. J. Smallman, F. Wang, T. C. Steimle +2
We excite YbF molecules to low-lying vibrational levels of the state, and of the nearby perturber state sometimes called [18.6]0.5. By dispersing the fluorescence, we…
