Doppler cooling Ethanol

Physics Asked on July 26, 2021

Is it possible to use laser cooling to cool Ethanol in it’s gas phase? I’ve seen research on IR diode cooling when you reverse the electrodes but laser cooling was/has always been limited to atoms and a handful of diatomic molecules.

If you where to design a laser trap for ethanol, what would the Maxwell speed distribution and rms velocity be for ethanol gas molecules/atoms.

What would the d-line be? For sodium atoms if a laser is tuned just below one of the sodium d-lines (589.0 and 589.6 nm, about 2.1 eV), a sodium atom traveling toward the laser and absorbing a laser photon would have its momentum reduced.
