Overview
Two-stage cryogenic buffer-gas cooled beams are an excellent precursors to laser cooling experiments as the thermal velocities of the atoms or molecules being cooled are comparable to the depth of traps (e.g., magneto-optical traps) [1-2]. In molecular systems, the buffer-gas cooled beams are relevant also because they also quench internal degrees of freedom (e.g., rotational) and thus create a large number of molecules in the ground state. Recently, warm buffer-gas cooling techniques have been used to demonstrate the laser-cooling of a molecular species [3-4]. We are examining how to preform laser cooling of an atomic (Yb, Li) and molecular (CaF) beams from a slower two-stage cell design.
