Nonlinear photoassociation spectroscopy near a narrow d-wave Feshbach resonance

摘要

We demonstrate nonlinear Fano effect in ultracold atom-molecule system composed of Photoassociation (PA) near a narrow d-wave Feshbach resonance for Cs atoms in the hyperfine state F = 3, mF = 3. A series of PA spectra of ultracold Cs atoms trapped in a crossed dipole trap are recorded near the Feshbach resonance. We measure PA rate as a function of magnetic field and clearly find Fano effect with characteristically asymmetric line shapes. Meanwhile, we investigate variations of spectral broadening and shifts as magnetic field around the Feshbach resonance. Our results also show Fano effect has a great effect on both spectral broadening and slope of spectral shift. We develop a nonlinear Fano theory based on magnato-optical quantum interferences in this ultracold atom-molecule system. The theory provides a remarkable agreement with our experimental results.
