We demonstrate slowing and longitudinal cooling of a supersonic beam of CaF molecules using counter-propagating laser light resonant with a closed rotational and almost closed vibrational transition. A group of molecules are decelerated by about 20 m/s by applying light of a fixed frequency for 1.8 ms. Their velocity spread is reduced, corresponding to a final temperature of about 300 mK. The velocity is further reduced by chirping the frequency of the light to keep it in resonance as the molecules slow down.

Spectroscopic characterization of aluminum monofluoride with relevance to laser cooling and trapping
High-resolution spectroscopy of AlF in the X, a, and A states shows its A1Pi-X1Sigma+ transition is rotationally closed with favorable branching ratios, establishing AlF as a practical laser-cooling candidate.
