Control and Spectroscopy of Single Molecular Ions

Abstract

The goals of this project were the continued improvement of molecular spectroscopy techniques using molecular ions embedded in Coulomb crystals of laser-cooled atomic ions. The ultimate goal was to devise methods for achieving molecular spectroscopy with single ions. CaH+ used as the primary test ion for developing the molecular spectroscopy techniques. Contents include: Coulomb crystals; REMPD on electronic transition; Measure dissociation rate; REMPD in Coulomb Crystals: CaH+; Underlying rotational structure; Rovibronic transition; Rovibronic results.
