A magneto-optical trap (MOT) of atoms or molecules is studied when two lasers of different detunings and polarization are used. Especially for $Jrightarrow J,J-1$ transitions, a scheme using more than one frequency per transition and different polarization is required to create a significant force. Calculations have been performed with the simplest forms of the $Jrightarrow J-1$ case (i.e. $J=1 rightarrow J=0$) and $Jrightarrow J$ case (i.e. $J=1/2 rightarrow J=1/2$). A one dimensional (1D) model is presented and a complete 3D simulation using rate equations confirm the results. Even in the absence of Zeeman effect in the excited state, where no force is expected in the single laser field configuration, we show that efficient cooling and trapping forces are restored in our configuration. We study this mechanism for the C$_2^-$ molecular anion as a typical example of the interplay between the two simple transitions $J rightarrow J,J-1$.

The electronic and motional degrees of freedom of trapped ions can be controlled and coherently coupled on the level of individual quanta. Assembling complex quantum systems ion by ion while keeping this unique level of control remains a challenging
task. For many applications, linear chains of ions in conventional traps are ideally suited to address this problem. However, driven motion due to the magnetic or radio-frequency electric trapping fields sometimes limits the performance in one dimension and severely affects the extension to higher dimensional systems. Here, we report on the trapping of multiple Barium ions in a single-beam optical dipole trap without radio-frequency or additional magnetic fields. We study the persistence of order in ensembles of up to six ions within the optical trap, measure their temperature and conclude that the ions form a linear chain, commonly called a one-dimensional Coulomb crystal. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we access the collective motion and perform spectrometry of the normal modes in the optical trap. Our system provides a platform which is free of driven motion and combines advantages of optical trapping, such as state-dependent confinement and nano-scale potentials, with the desirable properties of crystals of trapped ions, such as long-range interactions featuring collective motion. Starting with small numbers of ions, it has been proposed that these properties would allow the experimental study of many-body physics and the onset of structural quantum phase transitions between one- and two-dimensional crystals.
We report the laser-cooling and confinement of Cd atoms in a magneto-optical trap, and characterize the loading process from the background Cd vapor. The trapping laser drives the 1S0-1P1 transition at 229 nm in this two-electron atom and also photoi
onizes atoms directly from the 1P1 state. This photoionization overwhelms the other loss mechanisms and allows a direct measurement of the photoionization cross section, which we measure to be 2(1)x10^(-16)cm^(2) from the 1P1 state. When combined with nearby laser-cooled and trapped Cd^(+) ions, this apparatus could facilitate studies in ultracold interactions between atoms and ions.
We present the results of an experimental as well as theoretical study of nonlinear magneto-optical resonances in diatomic potassium molecules in the electronic ground state with large values of the angular momentum quantum number J~100. At zero magn
etic field, the absorption transitions are suppressed because of population trapping in the ground state due to Zeeman coherences between magnetic sublevels of this state along with depopulation pumping. The destruction of such coherences in an external magnetic field was used to study the resonances in this work. K2 molecules were formed in a glass cell filled with potassium metal at a temperature above 150C. The cell was placed in an oven and was located in a homogeneous magnetic field B, which was scanned from zero to 0.7 T. Q-type and R-type transitions were excited with a tunable, single-mode diode laser with central wavelength of 660 nm. Well pronounced nonlinear Hanle effect signals were observed in the intensities of the linearly polarized components of the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detected in the direction parallel to the (B)-field with polarization vectors parallel (I_par) and perpendicular (I_per) to the polarization vector of the exciting laser radiation, which was orthogonal to (B). The intensities of the LIF components were detected for different experimental parameters, such as laser power density and vapor temperature, in order to compare them with numerical simulations that were based on the optical Bloch equations for the density matrix. We report good agreement of our measurements with numerical simulations. Narrow, subnatural line width dark resonances in I_per(B) were detected and explained.
We study the dynamics of paramagnetic molecular superrotors in an external magnetic field. Optical centrifuge is used to create dense ensembles of oxygen molecules in ultra-high rotational states. It is shown for the first time, that the gas of rotat
ing molecules becomes optically birefringent in the presence of magnetic field. The discovered effect of magneto-rotational birefringence indicates preferential alignment of molecular axes along the field direction. We provide an intuitive qualitative model, in which the influence of the applied magnetic field on the molecular orientation is mediated by the spin-rotation coupling. This model is supported by the direct imaging of the distribution of molecular axes, the demonstration of the magnetic reversal of the rotational Raman signal, and by numerical calculations.
We investigate simultaneous state-insensitive trapping of a mixture of two different atomic species, Caesium and Rubidium. The magic wavelengths of the Caesium and Rubidium atoms are different, $935.6$ nm and $789.9$ nm respectively, thus single-freq
uency simultaneous state-insensitive trapping is not possible. We thus identify bichromatic trapping as a viable approach to tune the two magic wavelengths to a common value. Correspondingly, we present several common magic wavelength combinations appropriate for simultaneous state-insensitive trapping of the two atomic species.
