Creation of ultracold ${}^{87}$RbCs molecules in the rovibrational ground state

Abstract

We report the creation of a sample of over 1000 ultracold ${}^{87}$RbCs molecules in the lowest rovibrational ground state, from an atomic mixture of ${}^{87}$Rb and Cs, by magnetoassociation on an interspecies Feshbach resonance followed by stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP). We measure the binding energy of the RbCs molecule to be $hc\times 3811.576(1)$ cm${}^{-1}$ and the $|v^{\prime \prime }=0,J^{\prime \prime }=0>$ to $|v^{\prime \prime }=0,J^{\prime \prime }=2>$ splitting to be $h\times 2940.09(6)$ MHz. Stark spectroscopy of the rovibrational ground state yields an electric dipole moment of 1.225(3)(8) D, where the values in parentheses are the statistical and systematic uncertainties, respectively. We demonstrate that a space-fixed dipole moment of 0.355(2)(4) D is accessible in RbCs, which is substantially higher than in previous work.
