Prospects for laser cooling of polyatomic molecules with increasing complexity
Optical cycling transitions and direct laser cooling have recently been demonstrated for a number of alkaline-earth dimers and trimer molecules. This is made possible by diagonal Franck-Condon factors between the vibrational modes of the optical transition. Achieving a similar degree of cooling to m...
