Collisional transfer of population and orientation in NaK.
Collisional satellite lines with |ΔJ| ≤ 58 have been identified in recent polarization spectroscopy V-type optical-optical double resonance (OODR) excitation spectra of the Rb(2) molecule [H. Salami et al., Phys. Rev. A 80, 022515 (2009)]. Observation of these satellite lines clearly requires a transfer of population from the rotational level directly excited by the pump laser to a neighboring ...
متن کاملThermalization of fast cesium 5D3/2 atoms in collisions with ground-state cesium atoms
We have investigated collisions involving fast, excited Cs atoms produced by photodissociating Cs2 molecules with a pulsed dye laser. The velocities of the atoms in the 5D state formed by the process Cs2sX Sg d+"vpump→Cs2→Css5Dd+Css6Sd are much greater than typical thermal velocities associated with the cell temperature. Using a narrow-band cw probe laser to observe the increased Doppler broade...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of ultracold atom-molecule collisions.
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 the triplet ground state by cw photoassociation through the outer well of the 0-(g) (P3/2) excited electronic state. Inelastic atom-molecule collisions converting internal excitation into kinetic energy lead to a los...
متن کاملUltracold dense samples of dipolar RbCs molecules in the rovibrational and hyperfine ground state.
We produce ultracold dense trapped samples of ^{87}Rb^{133}Cs molecules in their rovibrational ground state, with full nuclear hyperfine state control, by stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) with efficiencies of 90%. We observe the onset of hyperfine-changing collisions when the magnetic field is ramped so that the molecules are no longer in the hyperfine ground state. A strong quadrati...
متن کاملCold inelastic collisions between lithium and cesium in a two-species magneto-optical trap
We investigate collisional properties of lithium and cesium which are simultaneously confined in a combined magneto-optical trap. Trap-loss collisions between the two species are comprehensively studied. Different inelastic collision channels are identified, and inter-species rate coefficients as well as cross sections are determined. It is found that loss rates are independent of the optical e...
