Laser cooling of barium monofluoride molecules using synthesized optical spectra
We demonstrate laser cooling of barium monofluoride (^{138}BaF) molecules. We use serrodynes to synthesize time-sequenced optical spectra that can be precisely tailored to the hyperfine structure of this heaviest nonradioactive alkaline earth monofluoride. By optimizing these optical spectra, we rea...
