Transition Dipole Moment Measurements of Ultracold Photoassociated ~(85)Rb~(133)Cs Molecules by Depletion Spectroscopy

The transition dipole moments(TDMs) of ultracold85 Rb133 Cs molecules between the lowest vibrational ground level, (X~1Σ~+( v= 0, J= 1), and the two excited rovibrational levels, 2~3Π_0+(v′= 10, J′= 2) and 2~1Π_1(v′= 22,J′= 2), are measured using depletion spectroscopy. The ground-state85 Rb133 Cs molecules are formed from cold mixed component atoms via the 2~3Π_0-( v= 11, J= 0) short-range level, then detected by time-of-flight mass spectrum. A home-made external-cavity diode laser is used as the depletion laser to couple the ground level and the two excited levels. Based on the depletion spectroscopy, the corresponding TDMs are then derived to be 3.5(2)×10~(-3)eα_α and 1.6(1)×10~(-2)eα_α, respectively, where 0)(60 represents the atomic unit of electric dipole moment. The enhance of TDM with nearly a factor of 5 for the 21Π1(v′= 22, J′= 2) excited level means that it has stronger coupling with the ground level. It is meaningful to find more levels with much more strong coupling strength by the represented depletion spectroscopy to realize direct stimulated Raman adiabatic passage transfer from scattering atomic states to deeply molecular states.

基于马赫-曾德尔干涉仪和平衡零拍探测技术研究了Cs原子6S_1/2↔6P_3/2↔62D_5/2Rydberg态阶梯型三能级系统电磁诱导透明效应中耦合光场的噪声向探测光场相位噪声的转移特性.实验中探测光频率锁定在Cs原子6S_1/2↔6P_3/2态共振跃迁线上,通过扫描6P_3/2到62D_5/2态跃迁的耦合光频率,测量了Rydberg态电磁诱导透明光谱.利用探测光经过声光调制器后的一级衍射光实现了马赫-曾德尔干涉仪的相位锁定,测量了不同锁定相位情况下的电磁诱导透明光谱,实验结果与阶梯型三能级系统的理论计算结果符合得很好.在此基础上详细研究了耦合光频率共振在6P_3/2到62D_5/2态跃迁线上时,耦合光频率噪声向探测光相位噪声的转移特性,发现耦合光频率噪声转移效率在高频处显示出较明显的抑制.同时观察到耦合光在不同失谐情况时,随着耦合光功率的改变,探测光相位噪声的变化特征表现出明显差异.
