Sisyphus Laser Cooling of a Polyatomic Molecule.
We perform magnetically assisted Sisyphus laser cooling of the triatomic free radical strontium monohydroxide (SrOH). This is achieved with principal optical cycling in the rotationally closed P(N^{''}=1) branch of either the X[over ˜]^{2}Σ^{+}(000)↔A[over ˜]^{2}Π_{1/2}(000) or the X[over ˜]^{2}Σ^{+}(000)↔B[over ˜]^{2}Σ^{+}(000) vibronic transitions. Molecules lost into the excited vibrational ...
متن کاملDirect Frequency Comb Laser Cooling and Trapping
Ultracold atoms, produced by laser cooling and trapping, have led to recent advances in quantum information, quantum chemistry, and quantum sensors. A lack of ultraviolet narrow-band lasers precludes laser cooling of prevalent atoms such as hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. Broadband pulsed lasers can produce high power in the ultraviolet, and we demonstrate that the entire spectrum of an...
متن کاملMonodromy in the spectrum of a rigid symmetric top molecule in an electric field
We show that for rigid symmetric top molecules in electric fields the phenomenon of monodromy arises naturally as a ‘‘defect’’ in the lattice of quantum states in the energy-momentum diagram. This makes it impossible to use either the total angular momentum or a pendular quantum number to label the states globally. The monodromy is created or destroyed by classical Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations...
متن کاملLaser Cooling of Semiconductors
Optical irradiation accompanied by spontaneous anti-Stokes emission can lead to cooling of matter, a phenomenon known as laser cooling or optical refrigeration proposed in 1929 by Peter Pringsheim. In solid state materials, the cooling is achieved by annihilation of lattice vibrations (i.e., phonons). Since the first experimental demonstration in rare-earth doped glasses, considerable progress ...
متن کاملLaser cooling of atoms
The concept of radiation-pressure cooling of atoms was independently suggested in 1975 for the case of a gas of neutral atoms by Hänsch and Schawlow, and for atomic ions bound in an electromagnetic trap by Wineland and Dehmelt. While the notion that momentum exchange from a photon moving in the opposite direction could slow an individual atom was well understood, until this time no one had come...
