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…
