We have measured the Stark shift of the $A^2\Pi_{1/2} - X^2\Sigma^+$ transition in YbF. We use a molecular beam triple resonance method, with two laser transitions acting as pump and probe, assisted by an rf transition that tags a single…
Starting from an ultracold sample of ground-state $^{23}$Na$^{87}$Rb molecules, we investigate the lowest ro-vibrational level of the $b^3\Pi$ state with high resolution laser spectroscopy. This electronic spin-forbidden $X^1\Sigma^+…
The metastable a(1)[^3\Sigma^+] state of PbO has been suggested as a suitable system in which to search for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. We report here the development of experimental techniques allowing…
We are pursuing an experiment to measure the electric dipole moment of the electron using the molecule PbO. This measurement requires the ability to prepare quantum states with orientation of the molecular axis and, simultaneously,…
Using an ultracold gas of $^{87}$Rb$^{133}$Cs molecules, we perform hyperfine-resolved spectroscopy of transitions from the vibronic ground state to the lowest rovibrational states of the electronic state $\mathrm{b}\,^3\Pi_0$, as a…
We demonstrate a technique to measure hyperfine structure using a frequency-stabilized diode laser and an acousto-optic modulator locked to the frequency difference between two hyperfine peaks. We use this technique to measure hyperfine…
The hyperfine constants of the $^3$P$^{\circ}_2$ state in neutral Yb have been measured using three different dipole transitions. This state was recently shown to have a comparatively large hyperfine magnetic octupole splitting, and thus a…
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…
The narrow transition from the lowest rovibrational level of the $\mathrm{X}^{1}\Sigma^{+}$ electronic ground state to the lowest vibrational level of the $\mathrm{b}^{3}\Pi_{0}$ potential provides opportunities for achieving…
We report a precise measurement of hyperfine constants in the $\rm{D_1} $ line ($ \rm {5\,P_{1/2}} $ state) of the two stable isotopes of Rb. The motivation for the work is to try and resolve discrepant values that exists in the literature.…
We combined high-resolution Fourier-transform spectroscopy and large-scale electronic structure calculation to study energy and radiative properties of the high-lying (3)1{\Pi} and (5)1{\Sigma}+ states of the RbCs molecule. The…
High-resolution spectroscopy on the $A^2\Pi$ - $X^2\Sigma^+$ electronic system of $^{138}$Ba$^{19}$F is performed using a cold molecular beam produced by a buffer gas source. The hyperfine structure in both $X^2\Sigma^+$ ground and $A^2\Pi$…
The rotational and hyperfine spectrum of the $X^1\Sigma^+ \rightarrow B^3\Pi_1$ transition in TlF molecules was measured using laser-induced fluorescence from both a thermal and a cryogenic molecular beam. Rotational and hyperfine constants…
We report a precise measurement of the hyperfine interval in the ${2P}_{1/2}$ state of $^{7}$Li. The transition from the ground state ($D_1$ line) is accessed using a diode laser and the technique of saturated-absorption spectroscopy in hot…
We have completed a measurement of the Stark shift within the $^{115}$In $6s_{1/2} \rightarrow 6p_{1/2}$ excited-state transition using two-step laser spectroscopy in an indium atomic beam. Combining this measurement with recent…
Large-scale $\textit{ab initio}$ calculations of the electric field gradient, which constitutes the electronic contribution to the electric quadrupole hyperfine constant $B$, were performed for the $5s^25p6s$ $^{1,3}\!P^{\rm o}_1$ excited…
Laser spectroscopy of the low lying $^1$P and $^3$D states in atomic barium has been performed. This work contributes substantially to the development of an effective laser cooling and trapping for heavy alkaline earth elements and aims in…
We report high-precision measurements on the thallium fluoride $\tilde{J} = 1$ hyperfine manifold of the $B^3\Pi_1$ ($\nu = 0$) state. This state is of special interest because it is central to an optical cycling scheme that is envisioned…
In a frequency-modulation spectroscopy experiment, using the radiation from a single frequency diode laser, the spectra of molecular iodine hyperfine structure near 640 nm were recorded on the transition $B^3\Pi_{0_u^{+}}-X^1\Sigma^+_{g}$.…
The role of the interaction with the nearest electronic state $^3\Sigma^+_{0^-}$ on the hyperfine structure and magnetic properties of the $a(1)[^3\Sigma^+_1]$ state of PbO is assessed. The accounting for this contribution leads to…
