Laser Spectroscopy of Ultracold Molecular Hydrogen Ions in a Linear RF-Trap — •Ulf Fröhlich1, Bernhard Roth1, Thomas Fritsch1, Claus Lämmerzahl2, and Stephan Schiller11Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, D-40225 Düsseldorf — 2Universität Bremen, D-28359 Bremen

We present an experiment aimed at high-resolution spectroscopy of the ro-vibrational level structure of HD+. As one of the simplest molecules, HD+ is particularly suitable to test theories of molecular structure.

The HD+ molecular ions will be confined in a linear rf-trap and cooled via Coulomb interaction by laser cooled Be+ atomic ions confined in the same trap (sympathetic cooling). At sufficient high cooling rates, the laser cooled Be+ ions undergo a phase transition to an ordered structure (Coulomb crystal). Numerical simulations show, that one can expect the HD+ ions to be embedded in such a Be+ ionic crystal. In this way, an ultra-cold ensemble of HD+ molecular ions can be prepared for high-resolution laser spectroscopy.

So far, we have prepared and characterized Be+ ionic crystals of different size and shape suitable for embedding HD+ ions. Currently we are trying to optimize the process of loading HD+ and Be+ ions into the trap. Furthermore, we are now building up a stabilized laser system for high-resolution spectroscopy of the (ν=0, N=4) - (ν=4, N=4) transition of HD+ at 1.4 µm.
