Abstract
Aluminium monofluoride (AlF) is a promising candidate for laser cooling and trapping at high densities. We show efficient production of AlF in a bright, pulsed cryogenic buffer gas beam, and demonstrate rapid optical cycling on the Q rotational lines of the A 1 Π ↔ X 1 Σ + transition. We measure the brightness of the molecular beam to be >10 12 molecules per steradian per pulse in a single rotational state and present a new method to...
