We have produced ultracold, polar RbCs* molecules via photoassociation in a laser-cooled mixture of Rb and Cs atoms. Using a model of the RbCs* molecular interaction which reproduces the observed rovibrational structure, we infer decay rates in our experiments into deeply bound X(1)Sigma(+) ground-state RbCs vibrational levels as high as 5 x 10(5) s(-1) per level. Population in such deeply bound levels could be efficiently transferred to the vibrational ground state using a single stimulated Raman transition, opening the possibility to create large samples of stable, ultracold polar molecules. 相似文献

It was recently predicted [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 938 (1998)]] that atom-atom scattering under transverse harmonic confinement is subject to a "confinement-induced resonance" where the effective one-dimensional coupling strength diverges at a particular ratio of the confinement and scattering lengths. As the initial prediction made use of the zero-range pseudopotential approximation, we now report numerical results for finite-range interaction potentials that corroborate this resonance. In addition, we now present a physical interpretation of this effect as a novel type of Feshbach resonance in which the transverse modes of the confining potential assume the roles of "open" and "closed" scattering channels. 相似文献

We present previously unpublished data on the A1Π, e3Σ?, d3Δi, , and a3Π states of CS from uv emission and absorption transitions to the X1Σ+ ground state. Term values obtained from d3Δi ← a3Π ir emission bands are also included. Rotational analyses are presented for about 50 new fine-structure components in some 30 new vibrational levels, together with extended data and analyses for many of the previously observed levels. The data now availabe for these five electronic states more than triples that previously published. Vibrational numbering for the e, d, and a′ states is established by data for minor isotopes. In a Hund's case a-b basis, off-diagonal spin-orbit elements (incipient case c effects) produce extensive coupling among these levels, not only for perturbation crossings but also between levels widely separated in energy. A systematic deperturbation requires two stages, which are iterated. Term values computed from the spectral lines are used to fit parameters of Hamiltonian matrices for groups of nearby, coupled levels. Additional shifts are computed by second-order perturbation theory from the electronic interactions deduced from vibronic coupling elements. The resultant parameters satisfy certain tests for self-consistency; they conform to low-order polynomials in , and vibrational overlap factors from wave-functions computed with RKR potential curves are proportional to the vibronic coupling elements, to within experimental error in most cases. To obtain this self-consistency, we have computed and applied normally neglected centrifugal distortion effects in the off-diagonal coupling elements and in the second-order perturbation sums. We also present and interpret the diagonal spin-orbit fine structure in the a and d states, including the centrifugal distortion parameters, AD, for the latter, and values for several fitted second-order elements. Possible assignments for three additional perturbations of the A1Π state and one faint band are discussed in view of 1Δ, 1Σ?, and 5Π states that are also expected to occur in the region studied. Tentative parameters for the D1Δ state are obtained from one possible set of assignments. 相似文献

Using resonance-enhanced two-photon ionization, we detect ultracold, metastable RbCs molecules formed in their lowest triplet state a (3)Sigma(+) via photoassociation in a laser-cooled mixture of 85Rb and 133Cs atoms. We obtain extensive bound-bound excitation spectra of these molecules, which provide detailed information about their vibrational distribution, as well as spectroscopic data on several RbCs molecular states including a (3)Sigma(+), (2) (3)Sigma(+), and (1) (1)Pi. Analysis of this data allows us to predict strong transitions from observed levels to the absolute vibronic ground state of RbCs, potentially allowing the production of stable, ultracold polar molecules at rates in excess of 10(6) s(-1). 相似文献

The lowest electronically excited states of Na2 are of interest as intermediaries in the excitation of higher states and in the development of methods for producing cold molecules. We have compiled previously obtained spectroscopic data on the A 1Sigmau+ and b 3Piu states of Na2 from about 20 sources, both published and unpublished, together with new sub-Doppler linewidth measurements of about 15,000 A<--X transitions using polarization spectroscopy. We also present new ab initio results for the diagonal and off-diagonal spin-orbit functions. The discrete variable representation is used in conjunction with Hund's case a potentials plus spin-orbit effects to model data extending from v=0 to very close to the 3 2S+3 2P12 limit. Empirical estimates of the spin-orbit functions agree well with the ab initio functions for the accessible values of R. The potential function for the A state includes an exchange potential for S+P atoms, with a fitted coefficient somewhat larger than the predicted value. Observed and calculated term values are presented in an auxiliary (EPAPS) file as a database for future studies on Na2. 相似文献

We demonstrate the production of ultracold polar RbCs molecules in their vibronic ground state, via photoassociation of laser-cooled atoms followed by a laser-stimulated state transfer process. The resulting sample of X1Sigma+ (nu = 0) molecules has a translational temperature of approximately 100 microK and a narrow distribution of rotational states. With the method described here it should be possible to produce samples even colder in all degrees of freedom, as well as other bialkali species. 相似文献

One possible way to produce ultra-cold, high-phase-space-density quantum gases of molecules in the rovibronic ground state
is given by molecule association from quantum-degenerate atomic gases on a Feshbach resonance and subsequent coherent optical
multi-photon transfer into the rovibronic ground state. In ultra-cold samples of Cs2 molecules, we observe two-photon dark resonances that connect the intermediate rovibrational level |v=73,J=2〉 with the rovibrational ground state |v=0,J=0〉 of the singlet X

+ ground-state potential. For precise dark resonance spectroscopy we exploit the fact that it is possible to efficiently populate
the level |v=73,J=2〉 by two-photon transfer from the dissociation threshold with the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) technique.
We find that at least one of the two-photon resonances is sufficiently strong to allow future implementation of coherent STIRAP
transfer of a molecular quantum gas to the rovibrational ground state |v=0,J=0〉. 相似文献
