Add to ORKGis special in two regards. First, it uses ultrafast laser pulses that are spectrally broad enough to excite all the relevant vibrational levels. Second, the spectrum is shaped to eliminate all frequencies that would excite from v = 0. As a result, molecules are trapped in v = 0, so after many incoherent cycles of excitation and decay, they accumulate in this “dark ” state. Ironically, it is exactly this dark-state popula-tion trapping that has prevented traditional laser cooling of molecular motion. Here, it is put to good use: vibrationally cooling mole-cules that are already translationally cold. Danzl et al. (3) also work with Cs
