Optical Manipulation of Long-range Interactions at the 3s+3p Asymptote of Na${}_2$

Chr. Samuelis, St. Falke, T. Laue +4

We investigate the influence of a laser field, which is near-resonant to the atomic sodium 3${}^2$P${}_{1/2}$ $\to$ 3${}^2$D${}_{3/2}$ transition, on the last bound levels of the A$^1Σ^+_u…
