Probing the limits of optical cycling in a predissociative diatomic molecule
Qi Sun, Claire E. Dickerson, Jinyu Dai +6
Molecular predissociation is the spontaneous, nonradiative bond breaking process that can occur upon excitation. In the context of laser cooling, predissociation is an unwanted con…
Intensity-borrowing mechanisms pertinent to laser cooling of linear polyatomic molecules
Chaoqun Zhang, Nicholas R. Hutzler, Lan Cheng
A study of the intensity-borrowing mechanisms important to optical cycling transitions in laser-coolable polyatomic molecules arising from non-adiabatic coupling, contributions bey…
Blackbody thermalization and vibrational lifetimes of trapped polyatomic molecules
Nathaniel B. Vilas, Christian Hallas, Loïc Anderegg +5
We study the internal state dynamics of optically trapped polyatomic molecules subject to room temperature blackbody radiation. Using rate equations that account for radiative deca…
X-ray induced electron and ion fragmentation dynamics in IBr
Phay J. Ho, Dipanwita Ray, Stefan Lehmann +9
Characterization of the inner-shell decay processes in molecules containing heavy elements is key to understanding x-ray damage of molecules and materials and for medical applicati…
Optical Trapping of a Polyatomic Molecule in an -Type Parity Doublet State
Christian Hallas, Nathaniel B. Vilas, Loïc Anderegg +5
We report optical trapping of a polyatomic molecule, calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). CaOH molecules from a magneto-optical trap are sub-Doppler laser cooled to in f…
Vibronic branching ratios for nearly-closed rapid photon cycling of SrOH
Zack Lasner, Annika Lunstad, Chaoqun Zhang +2
The vibrational branching ratios of SrOH for radiative decay to the ground electronic state, , from the first two electronically excited states, and $B^{2}Σ^{+…
