Deflection of a Molecular Beam Using the Bichromatic Stimulated Force

S. E. Galica, L. Aldridge, D. J. McCarron +2

We demonstrate that a bichromatic standing-wave laser field can exert a significantly larger force on a molecule than ordinary radiation pressure. Our experiment measures the defle…

Excitation of weakly-bound molecules to trilobite-like Rydberg states

M. A. Bellos, R. Carollo, J. Banerjee +3

We observe "trilobite-like" states of ultracold 85Rb2 molecules, in which a ground-state atom is bound by the electronic wavefunction of its Rydberg-atom partner. We populate these…

Spectroscopy of the Double Minimum Electronic State of KRb

Jayita Banerjee, David Rahmlow, Ryan Carollo +4

We report the observation and analysis of the double-minimum electronic excited state of KRb. The spin-orbit components ( and 2) of this s…

Observation and Analysis of Resonant Coupling Between Near-Degenerate Levels of the 2 1Σg+ and 1 1 Πg States of Ultracold 85Rb2

R. Carollo, M. A. Bellos, D. Rahmlow +4

We report on the anomalously high line strength of a single rotational level in the ultracold photoassociation of two 85Rb atoms to form 85Rb2. The v' = 111, J' = 5 level belongs t…

Direct Photoassociative Formation of Ultracold KRb Molecules in the Lowest Vibrational Levels of the Ground State

Jayita Banerjee, David Rahmlow, Ryan Carollo +4

We report continuous direct photoassociative formation of ultracold KRb molecules in the lowest vibrational levels of the electronic ground state , starting…

Photoassociation to the 2(1)Sigma(g)(+) state in ultracold 85Rb2 in the presence of a shape resonance

M. A. Bellos, R. Carollo, D. Rahmlow +4

We report the first observation of photoassociation to the 2(1)Sigma(g)(+) state of 85Rb2 . We have observed two vibrational levels (v'=98, 99) below the 5s1/2+5p1/2 atomic limit a…
