Coherent optical transfer of Feshbach molecules to a lower vibrational state
K. Winkler, F. Lang, G. Thalhammer +3
Using the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) we have coherently transferred ultracold 87Rb2 Feshbach molecules into a more deeply bound vibrational quantum le…
Large atom number Bose-Einstein condensate of sodium
K. M. R. van der Stam, E. D. van Ooijen, R. Meppelink +2
We describe the setup to create a large Bose-Einstein condensate containing more than 120x10^6 atoms. In the experiment a thermal beam is slowed by a Zeeman slower and captured in…
On the Role of Penning Ionization in Photoassociation Spectroscopy
E. van der Zwan, D. van Oosten, D. Nehari +2
We study the role of Penning ionization on the photoassociation spectra of He(^3S)-He(^3S). The experimental setup is discussed and experimental results for different intensities o…
Spin-Polarizing Cold Sodium Atoms in a Strong Magnetic Field
K. M. R. van der Stam, A. Kuijk, R. Meppelink +2
The efficiency of evaporative cooling, which is used for the creation of a Bose Einstein condensate, depends strongly on the number of particles at the start of the evaporation. A…
