Apparatus for Producing a Bose-Einstein Condensate of Polar Molecules
Abstract
The goal of this grant is to acquire equipment needed to produce the first-ever Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of polar molecules, specifically SrF molecules. The proposed equipment would be integrated into an existing system where SrF molecules have been laser cooled and magneto-optically trapped. The specific new subsystems will consist of additional ultra-high vacuum chambers, a magnetic guide for SrF, various opticsand equipment to produce co-located magneto-optical and magnetic traps of these species, a high-power laser to provide optical-dipole trapping of both species, an absorption imaging camera to measure the temperature and density of each species, and a new laser needed to more efficiently load SrF into our traps.
