Optical Feshbach resonances of alkaline-earth-metal atoms in a one- or two-dimensional optical lattice

Pascal Naidon, Paul S. Julienne

Motivated by a recent experiment by Zelevinsky et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 203201 (2006)], we present the theory for photoassociation and optical Feshbach resonances of atoms confined in a tight one-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) optical lattice. In the case of an alkaline-earth-metal intercombination resonance, the narrow natural width of the line makes it possible to observe clear manifestations of the dimensionality, as well as some sensitivity to the scattering length of the atoms. Among possible applications, a 2D lattice may be used to increase the spectroscopic resolution by about one order of magnitude. Furthermore, a 1D lattice induces a shift that provides an alternative way of determining the strength of a resonance by spectroscopic measurements.

Selective control of photoassociation of alkaline earth dimers: A theoretical study

Junxia Cheng, Hong Zhang, Xinlu Cheng +1 more

Abstract The laser synthesis of alkaline earth dimers (Be2, Mg2, Ca2, Sr2, and Ba2) is investigated by theoretical calculation. Photoassociation based on ab initio calculations is rationalized by Franck‐Condon filtering. The optimal target states of photoassociations have been obtained, which are A1∑+u state for Be2, Mg2, and Ca2, and are B1∑+u state for Sr2 and Ba2, corresponding to vibrational transition bands from X1∑+g to excited state are 0‐1, 0‐7, 0‐10, 0‐13, and 0‐3, respectively. The proposed laser drive transitions to target states are also investigated that range from 350 to 740 nm. By using quantum wave‐packet dynamic methods, we calculated the absorption cross sections of photon energy and yields for the selected states of photoassociation. It show that the most sensitive molecules for quantum selective control of photoassociation are Be2 and Ba2 for alkaline earth dimers. These important parameters will provide a feasible scheme for further experimental researches.

Interactions of Ultra-cold Alkaline-earth-like and Alkali Atoms with Light

Marcin Witkowski, M. Zawada, Marcin Bober +7 more

This paper presents the experimental results of photoionization and photoassociation experiments performed with both ultra-cold alkaline-earth-like and alkali atoms. Photoionization cross-section was studied for88Sr at the blue magic 390 nm wavelength as well as for87Rb at 254 nm. We also present preliminary results of photoassociation spectroscopy of the molecular line detected near the dissociation threshold of the excited Rb*Hg molecule at D1 Rb line (795 nm).
