Experimental progress towards investigation of ultracold KCs molecules
POSTER
Abstract
We report on progress towards simultaneous cooling and trapping of K and Cs atoms with the objective to produce ultracold KCs molecules, for spectral investigation. Our systems consists of separate lasers for cooling and repumping transitions for both species and a simple locking scheme. We present the photoassociation and resonant multi-photon detection schemes, and discuss possible applications.
