One-dimensional magneto-optical compression of a cold CaF molecular beam
We demonstrate the one-dimensional, transverse magneto-optical compression of a cold beam of calcium monofluoride (CaF). By continually alternating the magnetic field direction and laser polarizations of the magneto-optical trap (RF MOT), a photon scattering rate of $2\pi \times 0.4\,\mathrm{MHz}$ i...
