Photoassociative Frequency Shift in a Quantum Degenerate Gas
arXiv:cond-mat/0108121 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.64.053410
Abstract
We observe a light-induced frequency shift in single-photon photoassociative spectra of magnetically trapped, quantum degenerate 7Li. The shift is a manifestation of the coupling between the threshold continuum scattering states and discrete bound levels in the excited-state molecular potential induced by the photoassociation laser. The frequency shift is observed to be linear in the laser intensity with a measured proportionality constant that is in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The frequency shift has important implications for a scheme to alter the interactions between atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate using photoassociation resonances.
