Blue-detuned molecular magneto-optical trap schemes based on bayesian optimization
Abstract
Direct laser cooling and trapping of molecules to temperature below Doppler limit and density exceeding are challenging due to the sub-Doppler heating effects of molecular magneto-optical trap (MOT). In our previous paper [1], we presented a general approach to engineering the sub- Doppler force by tuning the AC stark shift with the addition of a blue detuned laser. Here, by employing the Bayesian optimization method to optical Bloch equations, we have identified multiple blue-detuned MOT schemes for the CaF molecule. From the three-dimensional Monte-Carlo simulation, we obtained a MOT temperature and density of 14 and , respectively. Our findings present a potential avenue for directly loading molecular MOTs into conservative traps, which can capitalize on the high density and low temperature of the MOT
