Aluminum monochloride (AlCl) has been proposed as an excellent candidate for laser cooling. Here we present absorption spectroscopy measurements on the $A^1Pi leftarrow X^1Sigma^+$ transition in AlCl inside a cryogenic helium buffer-gas beam cell. The high resolution absorption data enables a rigorous, quantitative comparison with our high-level ab initio calculations of the electronic and rovibronic energies, providing a comprehensive picture of the AlCl quantum structure. The combination of high resolution spectral data and theory permits the evaluation of spectroscopic constants and associated properties, like equilibrium bond length, with an order of magnitude higher precision. Based on the measured molecular equilibrium constants of the $A^1Pi$ state, we estimate a Franck-Condon factor of the $A^1Pi leftarrow X^1Sigma^+$ of 99.88%, which confirms that AlCl is amenable to laser cooling.

We demonstrate cryogenic buffer-gas cooling of gas-phase methyltrioxorhenium (MTO). This molecule is closely related to chiral organometallic molecules where the parity-violating energy differences between enantiomers may be measurable. The molecules
are produced with a rotational temperature of approximately 6~K by laser ablation of an MTO pellet inside a cryogenic helium buffer gas cell. Facilitated by the low temperature, we demonstrate absorption spectroscopy of the 10.2~$mu$m antisymmetric Re=O stretching mode of MTO with a resolution of 8~MHz and a frequency accuracy of 30~MHz. We partially resolve the hyperfine structure and measure the nuclear quadrupole coupling of the excited vibrational state.
Barium monohydride (BaH) is an attractive candidate for extending laser cooling and trapping techniques to diatomic hydrides. The apparatus and high-resolution optical spectroscopy presented here demonstrate progress toward this goal. A cryogenic buf
fer-gas-cooled molecular beam of BaH was constructed and characterized. Pulsed laser ablation into cryogenic helium buffer gas delivers $sim1times10^{10}$ molecules/sr/pulse in the X$^2Sigma^+$ ($v=0,N=1$) state of primary interest. More than $1times10^7$ of these molecules per pulse enter the downstream science region with forward velocities below 100 m/s and transverse temperature of 0.1 K. This molecular beam enabled high-resolution optical spectra of BaH in quantum states relevant to laser slowing and cooling. The reported measurements include hyperfine structure and magnetic $g$ factors in the X$^2Sigma^+$, B$^2Sigma^+$, and A$^2Pi_{1/2}$ states.
Individual Ba ions are trapped in a gas-filled linear ion trap and observed with a high signal-to-noise ratio by resonance fluorescence. Single-ion storage times of ~5 min (~1 min) are achieved using He (Ar) as a buffer gas at pressures in the range
8e-5 - 4e-3 torr. Trap dynamics in buffer gases are experimentally studied in the simple case of single ions. In particular, the cooling effects of light gases such as He and Ar and the destabilizing properties of heavier gases such as Xe are studied. A simple model is offered to explain the observed phenomenology.
We report on the demonstration of Doppler-free polarization spectroscopy of the D2 line of 6Li atoms. Counterintuitively, the presence of an Ar buffer gas, in a certain pressure range, causes a drastic enhancement of the polarization rotation signal.
The observed dependence of the signal amplitude on the Ar buffer pressure and the pump laser power is reproduced by calculations based on simple rate equations. We performed stable laser frequency locking using a dispersion signal obtained by polarization spectroscopy for laser cooling of 6Li atoms.
We observed the $A^1Sigma^+sim b^3Pito a^3Sigma^+/X^1Sigma^+$ laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of the RbCs molecule excited from the ground $X^1Sigma^+$ state by the Ti:Sapphire laser. The LIF radiation from the common perturbed levels of the
singlet-triplet $Asim b$ complex was recorded by the Fourier-transform (FT) spectrometer with the instrumental resolution of 0.03~cm$^{-1}$. The relative intensity distribution in the rotationally resolved $Asim bto a^3Sigma^+(v_a)/X^1Sigma^+(v_X)$ progressions was measured, and their branching ratio was found to be about of 1$div$5$ times$10$^{-4}$ in the bound region of the $a^3Sigma^+$ and $X^1Sigma^+$ states. The experiment was complemented with the scalar and full relativistic calculations of the $A/b - X/a$ transition dipole moments (TDMs) as functions of internuclear distance. The relative systematic error in the resulting emph{ab initio} TDM functions evaluated for the strong $A - X$ transition was estimated as few percent in the energy region, where the experimental LIF intensities are relevant. The relative spectral sensitivity of the FT registration system, operated with the InGaAs diode detector and CaF beam-splitter, was calibrated in the range $[6~500,12~000]$~cm$^{-1}$ by a comparison of experimental intensities in the long $Asim bto X(v_X)$ LIF progressions of the K$_2$ and KCs molecules with their theoretical counterparts evaluated using the emph{ab initio} $A - X$ TDMs. Both experimental and theoretical transition probabilities can be employed to improve the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage process, $ato Asim b to X$, which is exploited for a laser assembling of ultracold RbCs molecules.
