Observation of Deeply-Bound ${}^{85}$Rb${}_2$ Vibrational Levels Using Feshbach Optimized Photoassociation

S. P. Krzyzewski, T. G. Akin, J. Dizikes +2

We demonstrate Feshbach optimized photoassociation (FOPA) into the $0_g^{-}(5$S${}_{1/2}+5$P${}_{1/2}$) state in ${}^{85}$Rb${}_2$. FOPA uses the enhancement of the amplitude of the i…
