Probing the spatial distribution of k-vectors in situ with Bose-Einstein condensates
Samuel Gaudout, Rayan Si-Ahmed, Clément Debavelaere +3
We present a novel method for mapping \textit{in situ} the spatial distribution of photon momentum across a laser beam using a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) as a moving probe. By…

Slowing YbF molecules using radiation pressure
M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, G. Peng, S. Li +7
We report radiation pressure slowing of YbF molecules to low velocity. In YbF, laser slowing is hindered by leaks out of the optical cycle attributed to low-lying metastable electr…
