Precise measurements of rotational constants of the pure long range state of ultracold cesium molecules

Abstract

The high resolution spectrum of ultracold Cs2 pure long range 0g- state is experimentally measured using modulated trap loss spectroscopic technology. Based on Double photoassociation spectroscopic technique, precise frequency difference reference signals are constructed to accurately calibrate the resonant frequency intervals of the ro-vibrational levels, thus obtaining the relationship between the frequency interval of rotational level and the rotational quantum number. The experimental data are fitted by the non-rigid rotational model, and the molecular rotational constants corresponding to different vibrational levels in the ultracold Cs2 pure long range 0g- state are acquired. The experimental results demonstrate a linear decrease of the rotational constant with the increase of vibrational quantum number, and the linear decreasing rate is -0.41m MHz0.01 MHz.
