A Molecular Laboratory on a Chip — •Mark Abel, Silvio Marx, Sam Meek, Anna Isabel Gonzalez Florez, Gabriele Santambrogio, and Gerard Meijer — Fritz-Haber Institut der MPG, 4-6 Faradayweg, 14195 Berlin, Germany

In the past several years, Stark deceleration has proved to be a powerful tool for controlling the translational motion of neutral polar molecules. Chip-based Stark decelerators offer many advantages over the macroscopic designs used previously; among these are relatively low voltage requirements, high field gradients, and tight spatial confinement of polar molecules. In addition, chip-based decelerators offer good optical access for spectroscopic probing and control of the trapped molecules. We show the design of our "molecular lab on a chip," its performance, and the results of rotational- and vibrational spectroscopy on trapped molecules.
