Photoassociation spectroscopy of weakly bound ${}^{87}R{b}_2$ molecules near $5P_{1/2}+5S_{1/2}$ threshold by optical Bragg scattering in Bose-Einstein condensates

We report the high resolution photoassociation (PA) spectroscopy of a ${}^{87}Rb$ Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) to excited molecular states near the dissociation limit of $5P_{1/2}…
