High-Resolution “Magic”-Field Spectroscopy on Trapped Polyatomic Molecules

Rapid progress in cooling and trapping of molecules has enabled first experiments on high-resolution spectroscopy of trapped diatomic molecules, promising unprecedented precision. Extending this work to polyatomic molecules provides unique opportunities due to more complex geometries and additional internal degrees of freedom. Here, this is achieved by combining a homogeneous-field microstructured electric trap, rotational transitions with...
