We describe an approach to optically trapping small, closed-shell molecules at cryogenic temperatures by buffer-gas loading a deep optical dipole trap. The ∼10 K trap depth will be produced by a tightlyfocused, 1064-nm cavity capable of reaching intensities of hundreds of GW/cm 2 . Molecules will be directly buffer-gas loaded into the trap using a helium buffer gas at 1.5 K. The very far-off-resonant, quasi-electrostatic trapping mechanism is insensitive to a molecule's internal state, energy level structure, and its electric and magnetic dipole moment. Here, we theoretically investigate the trapping and loading dynamics, as well as the heating and loss rates, and conclude that 10 4 -10 6 molecules are likely to be trapped. Our trap would open new possibilities in molecular spectroscopy, studies of cold chemical reactions, and precision measurement, amongst other fields of physics.
