Pump-probe study of the formation of rubidium molecules by ultrafast photoassociation of ultracold atoms
An experimental pump-probe study of the photoassociative creation of translationally ultracold rubidium molecules is presented together with numerical simulations of the process. The formation of loosely bound excited-state dimers is observed as a first step toward a fully coherent pump-dump approac...
