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…
Rovibrational cooling of molecules by optical pumping
I. Manai, R. Horchani, H. Lignier +4
We demonstrate rotational and vibrational cooling of cesium dimers by optical pumping techniques. We use two laser sources exciting all the populated rovibrational states, except a…
Triplet-singlet conversion by broadband optical pumping
Ridha Horchani, Hans Lignier, Nadia Bouloufa-Maafa +3
We demonstrate the conversion of cold Cs_{2} molecules initially distributed over several vibrational levels of the lowest triplet state a^{3}Σ_{u}^{+} into the singlet ground stat…
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…
