Laser cooling of molecules by zero-velocity selection and single spontaneous emission

A laser-cooling scheme for molecules is presented based on repeated cycle of zero-velocity selection, deceleration, and irreversible accumulation. Although this scheme also employs a single spontaneous emission as in [Raymond Ooi, Marzlin, and Audretsch, Eur. Phys. J. D 22, 259 (2003)], in order to...
