摘要:

我们中的一些人最近在Science 321 232(2008)中报道了振动冷Cs_2分子到单重X 1Sigma_g基态电子态的最低振动能级v=0的振动冷却。从一个冷分子的样品中产生的基态的振动能级的集合开始,我们的方法是基于重复的光泵浦激光的光谱足够宽,以激发所有的人口振动能级,但频率限制在这样一种方式,以消除从v=0的水平,在分子积累的过渡。本文将这种方法推广到将分子聚集到任意选定的“目标”振动能级。它是利用基于液晶空间光调制器的超短脉冲整形技术实现的。特别地,最初存在的分子的大部分被转移到选定的振动能级,例如v=1、2和7。该方法的局限性以及可能的扩展到旋转冷却进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

Some of us have recently reported in Science 321 232 (2008) vibrational cooling of translationally cold Cs_2 molecules into the lowest vibrational level v=0 of the singlet X 1Sigma_g ground electronic state. Starting from a sample of cold molecules produced in a collection of vibrational levels of the ground state, our method was based on repeated optical pumping by laser light with a spectrum broad enough to excite all populated vibrational levels but frequency-limited in such a way to eliminate transitions from v=0 level, in which molecules accumulate. In this paper this method is generalized to accumulate molecules into an arbitrary selected "target" vibrational level. It is implemented by using ultrashort pulse shaping techniques based on Liquid Crystal spatial light modulator. In particular a large fraction of the initially present molecule is transferred into a selected vibrational level such as v=1, 2 and 7. Limitations of the method as well as the possible extension to rotational cooling are also discussed.
