Abstract
We report a generally applicable computational and experimental approach to determine vibronic branching ratios in linear polyatomic molecules to the 10-5 level, including for nominally symmetry-forbidden transitions. These methods are demonstrated in CaOH and YbOH, showing approximately two orders of magnitude improved sensitivity compared with the previous state of the art. Knowledge of branching ratios at this level is needed for the successful deep laser cooling of a broad range of molecular species.
