An intense, cold, velocity-controlled molecular beam by frequency-chirped laser slowing
Using frequency-chirped radiation pressure slowing, we precisely control the velocity of a pulsed CaF molecular beam down to a few m s ^–1 , compressing its velocity spread by a factor of 10 while retaining high intensity: at a velocity of 15 m s ^–1 the flux, measured 1.3 m from the source, is 7 × ...
