Measurement of optical Feshbach resonances in an ideal gas.
Using a narrow intercombination line in alkaline earth atoms to mitigate large inelastic losses, we explore the optical Feshbach resonance effect in an ultracold gas of bosonic (88)Sr. A systematic measurement of three resonances allows precise determinations of the optical Feshbach resonance strength and scaling law, in agreement with coupled-channel theory. Resonant enhancement of the complex...
متن کاملMagnetically tunable Feshbach resonances in ultracold Li-Yb mixtures.
We investigate the possibility of forming Li+Yb ultracold molecules by magnetoassociation in mixtures of ultracold atoms. We find that magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances exist, but are extremely narrow for even-mass ytterbium isotopes, which all have zero spin. For odd-mass Yb isotopes, however, there is a new mechanism due to hyperfine coupling between the electron spin and the Yb nuclea...
متن کاملHigh-resolution photoassociation spectroscopy of ultracold ytterbium atoms by using the intercombination transition.
We observed high-resolution photoassociation spectra of laser-cooled ytterbium (Yb) atoms in the spin-forbidden 1S0 - 3P1 intercombination line. The rovibrational levels in the 0u+ state were measured for red detunings of the photoassociation laser ranging from 2.9 MHz to 1.97 GHz with respect to the atomic resonance. The rotational splitting of the vibrational levels near the dissociation limi...
متن کاملSimple theoretical models for resonant cold atom interactions
Magnetically tunable scattering resonances have been used with great success for precise control of s-wave scattering lengths in ultracold atomic collisions. We describe relatively simple yet quite powerful analytic treatments of such resonances based on the analytic properties of the van der Waals long range potential. This theory can be used to characterize a number of properties of specific ...
متن کاملPerspectives for coherent optical formation of strontium molecules in their electronic ground state
Optical Feshbach resonances Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 193001 2005 and pump-dump photoassociation with short laser pulses Phys. Rev. A 73, 033408 2006 have been proposed as means to coherently form stable ultracold-alkali-metal dimer molecules. In an optical Feshbach resonance, the intensity and possibly frequency of a cw laser are ramped up linearly followed by a sudden switch-off of the laser. This...
