Continuous formation of vibronic ground state RbCs molecules via photoassociation

We demonstrate the direct formation of vibronic ground state RbCs molecules by photoassociation of ultracold atoms followed by radiative stabilization. The photoassociation proceeds through deeply bound levels of the (2) ^3 Π _0 ^+_+ state. From analysis of the relevant free-to-bound and bound-to-bo...
