摘要:

研究了超冷钠分子在光偶极阱中的时间分辨光缔合作用。光缔合激光器以高强度(高于20 kW/cm $^{2}$)将原子对激发到大角动量的分子状态。这种转变通常在超冷温度下被高分波的离心屏障抑制。时间分辨电离测量表明,原子被加速的偶极电位的光缔合光束。我们通过改变势能深度来改变碰撞能量,并观察到光缔合速率的强烈变化。这些结果表明,在高强度的连续光缔合作用中,光力的重要作用。

英文摘要:

We study the time-resolved photoassociation of ultracold sodium in an optical dipole trap. The photoassociation laser excites pairs of atoms to molecular states of large total angular momentum at high intensities (above 20 kW/cm$^{2}$). Such transitions are generally suppressed at ultracold temperatures by the centrifugal barriers for high partial waves. Time-resolved ionization measurements reveal that the atoms are accelerated by the dipole potential of the photoassociation beam. We change the collision energy by varying the potential depth, and observe a strong variation of the photoassociation rate. These results demonstrate the important role of light forces in cw photoassociation at high intensities.
