Welcome to MoleCool’s documentation!#
MoleCool is a Python library for numerical modeling of light-matter interactions,
specializing in laser cooling of molecules.
It is designed for researchers and physicists working with atomic and molecular systems,
from simple few-level models and diatomics to polyatomics and even radioactive species.
Current version: 3.7
For more details and citing this package, please refer to our paper:
Further background on molecular level structure, spectroscopy, and laser cooling,
as well as the application of MoleCool to achieve isotopologue-selective
laser cooling of complex molecules via serrodyne modulation, is presented
in the PhD thesis
This work introduces a novel strategy for designing optimized optical spectra to laser cool heavy, low-abundant barium monofluoride (BaF) molecules, whose additional nuclear spin creates an exceptionally intricate level structure.
