Direct Laser Cooling of a Symmetric Top Molecule
Debayan Mitra, Nathaniel B. Vilas, Christian Hallas +6
We report direct laser cooling of a symmetric top molecule, reducing the transverse temperature of a beam of calcium monomethoxide (CaOCH) to mK while addressing tw…

1D Magneto-Optical Trap of Polyatomic Molecules
Louis Baum, Nathaniel B. Vilas, Christian Hallas +4
We demonstrate a 1D magneto-optical trap of the polar free radical calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). A quasi-closed cycling transition is established to scatter photons per…

Radiation Pressure Force from Optical Cycling on a Polyatomic Molecule
Ivan Kozyryev, Louis Baum, Kyle Matsuda +2
We demonstrate multiple photon cycling and radiative force deflection on the triatomic free radical strontium monohydroxide (SrOH). Optical cycling is achieved on SrOH in a cryogen…
