Laser slowing of CaF molecules to near the capture velocity of a molecular MOT
Laser slowing of CaF molecules down to the capture velocity of a magneto-optical trap for molecules is achieved. Starting from a two-stage buffer gas beam source, we apply frequency-broadened 'white-light' slowing and observe approximately 6 x 10⁴ CaF molecules in a single pulse with veloc...
