We report on optical trapping ultracold rubidium molecules. The molecules are produced in the ground triplet state through photoassociation and radiative decay from laser-cooled atoms and are confined in the focus of a CO2 laser beam. The molecules are observed by photoionization and ion detection.

Abstract
We report on optical trapping ultracold rubidium molecules. The molecules are produced in the ground triplet state through photoassociation and radiative decay from laser-cooled atoms and are confined in the focus of a CO2 laser beam. The molecules are observed by photoionization and ion detection.File in questo prodotto:
