AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Stark deceleration techniques for CaF molecules in both strong-field seeking and weak-field seeking states.
- Two types of decelerators are employed: a conventional Stark decelerator for weak-field seekers and an alternating gradient decelerator for strong-field seekers, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.
- The research also explores the potential of laser cooling to improve the density and organization of the decelerated molecules.
Article Abstract
We report the Stark deceleration of CaF molecules in the strong-field seeking ground state and in a weak-field seeking component of a rotationally-excited state. We use two types of decelerator, a conventional Stark decelerator for the weak-field seekers and an alternating gradient decelerator for the strong-field seekers, and we compare their relative merits. We also consider the application of laser cooling to increase the phase-space density of decelerated molecules.
