In ultra-cold samples of Cs2 molecules, we observe two-photon dark resonances that connect the intermediate rovibrational level |v=73,J=2 with the rovibrational ground state |v=0,J=0 of the singlet X 1 ∑ g + ground-state potential. For precise dark resonance spectroscopy we exploit the fact that it is possible to efficiently populate the level |v=73,J=2 by two-photon transfer from the dissociation threshold with the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) technique. We find that at least one of the two-photon resonances is sufficiently strong to allow future implementation of coherent STIRAP transfer of a molecular quantum gas to the rovibrational ground state |v=0,J=0."}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/0811.0695"}],"oa_version":"None","oa":1,"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:49:49Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","publisher":"Springer","title":"Dark resonances for ground-state transfer of molecular quantum gases","status":"public","publication":"Applied Physics B: Lasers and Optics","author":[{"full_name":"Mark, Manfred","first_name":"Manfred","last_name":"Mark"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-8559-3973","id":"42EFD3B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Danzl, Johann G","last_name":"Danzl","first_name":"Johann G"},{"full_name":"Haller, Elmar","first_name":"Elmar","last_name":"Haller"},{"first_name":"Mattias","last_name":"Gustavsson","full_name":"Gustavsson, Mattias"},{"last_name":"Bouloufa","first_name":"Nadia","full_name":"Bouloufa, Nadia"},{"last_name":"Dulieu","first_name":"Olivier","full_name":"Dulieu, Olivier"},{"first_name":"Houssam","last_name":"Salami","full_name":"Salami, Houssam"},{"full_name":"Bergeman, Thomas","first_name":"Thomas","last_name":"Bergeman"},{"full_name":"Ritsch, Helmut","last_name":"Ritsch","first_name":"Helmut"},{"full_name":"Hart, Russell","last_name":"Hart","first_name":"Russell"},{"full_name":"Nägerl, Hanns","first_name":"Hanns","last_name":"Nägerl"}],"page":"219 - 225","doi":"10.1007/s00340-009-3407-1","external_id":{"arxiv":["0811.0695"]},"citation":{"short":"M.
