Sub-Natural-Linewidth Quantum Interference Features Observed in Photoassociation of a Thermal Gas

R. Dumke, J. D. Weinstein, M. Johanning +2

By driving photoassociation transitions we form electronically excited molecules (Na${}_2^{\ast }$) from ultra-cold (50-300 $\mu$K) Na atoms. Using a second laser to drive transitions from t…
