Laser cooling of rotation and vibration by optical pumping
I. Manai, R. Horchani, M. Hamamda +5
We have recently demonstrated that optical pumping methods combined with photoassociation of ultra-cold atoms can produce ultra-cold and dense samples of molecules in their absolut…
Molecular vibrational cooling by Optical Pumping with shaped femtosecond pulses
Dimitris Sofikitis, Sebastien Weber, Andréa Fioretti +5
Some of us have recently reported in Science 321 232 (2008) vibrational cooling of translationally cold Cs_2 molecules into the lowest vibrational level v=0 of the singlet X 1Sigma…
Continuous transfer and laser guiding between two cold atom traps
Emiliya Dimova, Olivier Morizot, Guillaume Stern +6
We have demonstrated and modeled a simple and efficient method to transfer atoms from a first Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT) to a second one. Two independent setups, with cesium and ru…
Optimized production of large Bose Einstein Condensates
D. Comparat, A. Fioretti, G. Stern +3
We suggest different simple schemes to efficiently load and evaporate a ''dimple'' crossed dipolar trap. The collisional processes between atoms which are trapped in a reservoir lo…
A high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer for the detection of ultracold molecules
Stephan D. Kraft, Jochen Mikosch, Peter Staanum +5
We have realized a high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer combined with a magneto-optical trap. The spectrometer enables excellent optical access to the trapped atomic cl…
