A pump-probe study of the photoassociation of cold rubidium molecules.

The dynamics of the excited state during the photoassociation of cold molecules from cold rubidium atoms is studied in a series of pump-probe experiments. Dipole transitions similar to those of the atoms are observed in the molecular signal. While such behaviour is characteristic of the long-range m...
