Efficient formation of deeply bound ultracold molecules probed by broadband detection

Matthieu Viteau, Amodsen Chotia, Maria Allegrini +4

Using a non-selective broadband detection scheme we discovered an efficient mechanism of formation of ultracold Cs molecules in deeply bound levels () of their electroni…

Optical pumping and vibrational cooling of molecules

Matthieu Viteau, Amodsen Chotia, Maria Allegrini +4

The methods producing cold molecules from cold atoms tend to leave molecular ensembles with substantial residual internal energy. For instance, Cs2 molecules initially formed via p…

Ionization in a frozen Rydberg gas with attractive or repulsive potentials

Matthieu Viteau, Amodsen Chotia, Daniel Comparat +3

We report clear evidence of the role of dipole-dipole interaction in Penning ionization of Rydberg atoms, leading to the formation of an ultracold plasma. Penning ionization of np…

Kinetic Monte Carlo modelling of dipole blockade in Rydberg excitation experiment

Amodsen Chotia, Matthieu Viteau, Thibault Vogt +2

We present a method to model the interaction and the dynamics of atoms excited to Rydberg states. We show a way to solve the optical Bloch equations for laser excitation of the fro…

Electric-field induced dipole blockade with Rydberg atoms

Thibault Vogt, Matthieu Viteau, Amodsen Chotia +3

High resolution laser Stark excitation of np (60 < n < 85) Rydberg states of ultra-cold cesium atoms shows an efficient blockade of the excitation attributed to long-range dipole-d…
