Laser-cooled molecules

چکیده
The last few years have seen rapid progress in the application of laser cooling to molecules. In this review, we examine what kinds molecules can be cooled, how design a suitable scheme, and understood modeled. We review recent work on slowing, magneto-optical trapping, sub-Doppler cooling, confinement conservative traps, with focus fundamental principles each technique. Finally, explore some exciting applications laser-cooled that should accessible near term.

Sympathetic Cooling of Molecules Using Laser-Cooled Atoms
Sympathetic cooling of molecules using laser-cooled neutral atoms is a new technique being developed in the Hudson Lab at UCLA that may be able to cool clouds of molecular ions to their ground energy states. Molecular ions are trapped in an oscillating electric field inside a magnetooptical trap containing a cloud of ultracold neutral atoms. The collisions between the molecules and the ultracol...

متن کاملCryogenically cooled 946nm Nd:YAG laser.
We present the first multi-Watt demonstration of a diode pumped cryogenically cooled neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser operating at 946 nm on the (4)F(3/2) → (4)I(9/2) transition. 3.8 W of continuous wave output power for 12.8 W of absorbed pump was obtained with a slope efficiency of 47%. In addition, we made an extensive characterization of the spectroscopic properties aroun...
متن کاملA Laser-cooled Positron Plasma
We present results on trapping and cooling of positrons in a Penning trap. Positrons from a 2 mCi Na source travel along the axis of a 6 T magnet and through the trap after which they strike a Cu reflection moderator crystal. Up to a few thousand positrons are trapped and lose energy through Coulomb collisions (sympathetic cooling) with laser-cooled Be. By imaging the Be laser-induced fluoresce...
متن کاملCold Reactive Collisions between laser-cooled ions and velocity-selected neutral molecules.
We report a new experimental method to study reactive ion-molecule collisions at very low temperatures. A source of laser-cooled ions in a linear Paul trap has been combined with a quadrupole-guide velocity selector to investigate the reaction of Ca+ with CH3F at collision energies E[over](coll)/k(B)> or =1 K with single-particle sensitivity. The technique represents a general approach to study...
