Experimental investigation of ultracold atom-molecule collisions
Peter Staanum, Stephan D. Kraft, Joerg Lange +2
Ultracold collisions between Cs atoms and Cs2 dimers in the electronic ground state are observed in an optically trapped gas of atoms and molecules. The Cs2 molecules are formed in…
Saturation of Cs2 Photoassociation in an Optical Dipole Trap
S. D. Kraft, M. Mudrich, M. U. Staudt +4
We present studies of strong coupling in single-photon photoassociation of cesium dimers using an optical dipole trap. A thermodynamic model of the trap depletion dynamics is emplo…
Photoassociation inside an optical dipole trap: absolute rate coefficients and Franck-Condon factors
R. Wester, S. D. Kraft, M. Mudrich +5
We present quantitative measurements of the photoassociation of cesium molecules inside a far-detuned optical dipole trap. A model of the trap depletion dynamics is derived which a…
Sympathetic Cooling with Two Atomic Species in an Optical Trap
M. Mudrich, S. Kraft, K. Singer +3
We simultaneously trap ultracold lithium and cesium atoms in an optical dipole trap formed by the focus of a CO laser and study the exchange of thermal energy between the gases…
