Controlling the motion of hydrogen molecules: design of a two-dipole Rydberg decelerator
Hydrogen molecules are excited by 1 + 1′ (VUV + UV) laser excitation to Rydberg states (n = 15-20) in the inhomogeneous field generated by an electrostatic dipole. High-field or low-field seeking Stark states are selected spectroscopically and experience a force either towards or away from the dipol...
