Efficient formation of ground state ultracold molecules via STIRAP from the continuum at a Feshbach resonance

Elena Kuznetsova, Susanne F. Yelin, Marko Gacesa +2

We develop a complete theoretical description of photoassociative Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP) near a Feshbach resonance in a thermal atomic gas. We show that it is…
