Controlling the motion of hydrogen molecules: design of a two-dipole Rydberg decelerator

Abstract:

Hydrogen molecules are excited by 1 + 1′ (VUV + UV) laser excitation to Rydberg states (n = 15-20) in the inhomogeneous field generated by an electrostatic dipole. High-field or low-field seeking Stark states are selected spectroscopically and experience a force either towards or away from the dipole, respectively. Deflection of the molecular beam is observed if the dipole is oriented parallel to the beam direction, whereas acceleration or deceleration is observed for a perpendicular orientat...
