Abstract
We present the integrated imaging of cold molecules in a microchip environment. The on-chip de- tection is based on REMPI, which is quantum-state-selective and generally applicable. We demon- strate and characterize time-resolved spatial imaging and subsequently use it to analyze the effect of a phase-space manipulation sequence aimed at compressing the velocity distribution of a molec- ular ensemble with a view to future high-resolution spectroscopic studies. The realization of such on-chip measurements adds the final fundamental component to the molecule chip, offering a new and promising route for investigating cold molecules.
