Prospects for a Narrow Line MOT in YO

Alejandra L. Collopy, Matthew T. Hummon, Mark Yeo +2

In addition to being suitable for laser cooling and trapping in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) using a relatively broad (5 MHz) transition, the molecule YO possesses a narrow-l…

Rotational state microwave mixing for laser cooling of complex diatomic molecules

Mark Yeo, Matthew T. Hummon, Alejandra L. Collopy +5

We demonstrate the mixing of rotational states in the ground electronic state using microwave radiation to enhance optical cycling in the molecule yttrium (II) monoxide (YO). This…

Evaporative cooling of the dipolar radical OH

Benjamin K. Stuhl, Matthew T. Hummon, Mark Yeo +3

Atomic physics was revolutionized by the development of forced evaporative cooling: it led directly to the observation of Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum-degenerate Fermi gases…

Low-energy molecular collisions in a permanent magnetic trap

Brian C. Sawyer, Benjamin K. Stuhl, Dajun Wang +2

Cold, neutral hydroxyl radicals are Stark decelerated and confined within a magnetic trap consisting of two permanent ring magnets. The OH molecules are trapped in the ro-vibration…
