Photoassociation of heteronuclear lithium

Abstract.

Photoassociation of ultracold heteronuclear 6Li7Li molecules is observed inside a combined magneto-optical trap for 6Li and 7Li. The trapped atomic cloud is illuminated by a tunable single-mode laser and the number of trapped 7Li atoms is monitored by absorption spectroscopy. Characteristic hyperfine resolved spectra have been recorded for singlet spin orientation. Interesting saturation effects have been observed.
