We report on hyperfine-resolved laser spectroscopy of the A$^2\Pi \leftarrow $X$^2\Sigma^+$ transition of MgF, relevant for laser cooling. We recorded 25 rotational transitions with an absolute accuracy of better than 20 MHz, assigned 56…
We report absolute optical frequencies of electronic transitions from the $X\, ^2\Pi_{3/2},v''=0,J''=3/2$ rovibronic ground state to the 12 lowest levels of the $A\, ^2\Sigma^+,v'=0$ vibronic state in $^{16}$OH, as well as to the 16 lowest…
High-precision two-photon Doppler-free frequency measurements have been performed on the CO A$^1\Pi$ - X$^1\Sigma^+$ fourth-positive system (2,0), (3,0), and (4,0) bands. Absolute frequencies of forty-three transitions, for rotational…
We report spectroscopic results of the \(X^2\Sigma^+(v=2) \rightarrow A^2\Pi_{1/2}(v=1)\) transition in magnesium monofluoride (MgF). Using Doppler-free Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy on the \(X^2\Sigma^+(v=2) \rightarrow…

Molecular laser cooling and trapping requires addressing all spontaneous decays to excited vibrational states that occur at the $\gtrsim 10^{-4} - 10^{-5}$ level, which is accomplished by driving repumping transitions out of these states.…
A prerequisite for laser cooling a molecular anion, which has not been achieved so far, is the precise knowledge of the relevant transition frequencies in the cooling scheme. To determine these frequencies we present a versatile method that…
