The laser induced fluorescence enhancement with additional sidebands and a polarization modulation scheme indicates that the hyperfine states and the Zeeman sublevels are closed. The quasi optical cycling by repumping the $X(v=1)\\to A(v'=0)$ leads to a $\\sim$ 0.8 mm deflection of the beam via scattering $\\sim$ 150 photons per molecule, in good agreement with the predictions from our multi-level rate equation model.
