One-dimensional magneto-optical compression of a cold CaF molecular beam

We demonstrate the one-dimensional, transverse magneto-optical compression of a cold beam of calcium monofluoride (CaF). By continually alternating the magnetic field direction and laser polarizations of the magneto-optical trap (RF MOT), a photon scattering rate of 2π x 0.4 MHz is achieved. A 3D mo...
