The dynamical hole in ultrafast photoassociation: analysis of the compression effect
Eliane Luc-Koenig, Françoise Masnou-Seeuws, Ronnie Kosloff
Photoassociation of a pair of cooled atoms by excitation with a short chirped laser pulse creates a dynamical hole in the initial continuum wavefunction. This hole is manifested by…
Grid methods for cold molecules : determination of photoassociation lineshapes and rate constants
S. Kallush, R. Kosloff, F. Masnou-Seeuws
A description of photoassociation by CW laser is formulated in the framework of grid methods. The Hamiltonian describing one or several bound states coupled to a multiple of contin…
Dynamical interferences to probe short-pulse photoassociation of Rb atoms and stabilization of Rb_2 dimers
Jordi Mur-Petit, Eliane Luc-Koenig, Françoise Masnou-Seeuws
We analyze the formation of Rb_2 molecules with short photoassociation pulses applied to a cold Rb-85 sample. A pump laser pulse couples a continuum level of the ground electronic…
Short-pulse photoassociation in rubidium below the D line
Christiane P. Koch, Ronnie Kosloff, Françoise Masnou-Seeuws
Photoassociation of two ultracold rubidium atoms and the subsequent formation of stable molecules in the singlet ground and lowest triplet states is investigated theoretically. The…
Making ultracold molecules in a two color pump-dump photoassociation scheme using chirped pulses
Christiane P. Koch, Eliane Luc-Koenig, Françoise Masnou-Seeuws
This theoretical paper investigates the formation of ground state molecules from ultracold cesium atoms in a two-color scheme. Following previous work on photoassociation with chir…
Photoassociation of cold atoms with chirped laser pulses: time-dependent calculations and analysis of the adiabatic transfer within a two-state model
E. Luc-Koenig, R. Kosloff, F. Masnou-Seeuws +1
This theoretical paper presents numerical calculations for photoassociation of ultracold cesium atoms with a chirped laser pulse and detailed analysis of the results. In contrast w…
