A nuclear clock synchronized to Th

Beichen Huang, Gaowei Yan, Qi Xiao +37

Atomic clocks have made time and frequency the most precisely measured quantities in physics, progressing from microwave standards that realize the SI second to optical clocks with…

A continuous-wave vacuum ultraviolet laser for the nuclear clock

Qi Xiao, Gleb Penyazkov, Xiangliang Li +14

The exceptionally low-energy isomeric transition in Th at around 148.4 nm offers a unique opportunity for coherent nuclear control and the realisation of a nuclear clock. R…

Saturated absorption spectroscopy of buffer-gas-cooled Barium monofluoride molecules

Wenhao Bu, Yuhe Zhang, Qian Liang +2

We report an experimental investigation on the Doppler-free saturated absorption spectroscopy of buffer-gas-cooled Barium monofluoride (BaF) molecules in a 4~K cryogenic cell. The…

Doppler cooling of buffer-gas-cooled Barium monofluoride molecules

Yuhe Zhang, Zixuan Zeng, Qian Liang +2

We demonstrate one-dimensional Doppler cooling of a beam of buffer-gas cooled Barium monofluoride (BaF) molecules. The dependences of the cooling efficiency with the laser detuning…

A general Zeeman slower for type-II transitions and polar molecules

Qian Liang, Wenhao Bu, Yuhe Zhang +2

We proposed a general Zeeman slower scheme applicable to the majority of the laser-coolable molecules. Different from previous schemes, the key idea of our scheme lies in that the…

Laser cooling with adiabatic passage for diatomic molecules

Qian Liang, Tao Chen, Wenhao Bu +2

We present a magnetically enhanced laser cooling scheme applicable to multi-level type-II transitions and further diatomic molecules with adiabatic transfer. An angled magnetic fie…

Radiative deflection of a BaF molecular beam from the optical cycling

Tao Chen, Wenhao Bu, Bo Yan

We demonstrate a quasi optical cycling for the transition and a radiative force induced deflection on the buffer-gas cooled BaF molecular beam. The laser induce…

Cold collision and high-resolution spectroscopy of buffer gas cooled BaF Molecule

Wenhao Bu, Tao Chen, Guitao Lv +1

We reported a detailed experimental study of the cold collision of Barium monofluoride (BaF) with buffer gas and the high-resolution spectroscopy relevant with direct laser cooling…
