Characterization of the triplet states of aluminum monofluoride (AlF) molecule is useful for laser cooling and trapping experiments[1].
The b3Σ+ - a3Π transition can be used for optical pumping, parity-selective detection of hyperfine levels in the a3Π state, and is a candidate for a triplet magneto-optical trap. The A1Π - a3Π transition is a possible loss channel for laser cooling on the A1Π - X1Σ+ transition.
We present the results of spectroscopic investigations involving the a3Π and b3Σ+ states and discuss their relevance for laser cooling. Spectroscopic constants are determined to high precision. This makes AlF an ideal benchmark molecule for quantum chemical calculations.
