We present results from two-photon photoassociative spectroscopy of the least-bound vibrational level of the X$^1Sigma_g^+$ state of the $^{88}$Sr$_2$ dimer. Measurement of the binding energy allows us to determine the s-wave scattering length, $a_{88}=-1.4(6) a_0$. For the intermediate state, we use a bound level on the metastable $^1S_0$-$^3P_1$ potential, which provides large Franck-Condon transition factors and narrow one-photon photoassociative lines that are advantageous for observing quantum-optical effects such as Autler-Townes resonance splittings.

We demonstrate photoassociation (PA) of ultracold fermionic $^{87}$Sr atoms. The binding energies of a series of molecular states on the $^1Sigma^+_u$ $5s^2,^1$S$_0+5s5p,^1$P$_1$ molecular potential are fit with the semiclassical LeRoy-Bernstein mode l, and PA resonance strengths are compared to predictions based on the known $^1$S$_0+^1$S$_0$ ground state potential. Similar measurements and analysis were performed for the bosonic isotopes $^{84}$Sr and $^{86}$Sr, allowing a combined analysis of the long-range portion of the excited-state potential and determination of the $5s5p,^1$P$_1$ atomic state lifetime of $5.20 pm 0.02$ ns. The results enable prediction of PA rates across a wide range of experimental conditions.
We have produced large samples of ultracold $^{88}$Sr$_2$ molecules in the electronic ground state in an optical lattice. The molecules are bound by 0.05 cm$^{-1}$ and are stable for several milliseconds. The fast, all-optical method of molecule crea tion via intercombination line photoassociation relies on a near-unity Franck-Condon factor. The detection uses a weakly bound vibrational level corresponding to a very large dimer. This is the first of two steps needed to create Sr$_2$ in the absolute ground quantum state. Lattice-trapped Sr$_2$ is of interest to frequency metrology and ultracold chemistry.

We present two-photon photoassociation to the least-bound vibrational level of the X$^1Sigma_g^+$ electronic ground state of the $^{86}$Sr$_2$ dimer and measure a binding energy of $E_b=-83.00(7)(20)$,kHz. Because of the very small binding energy, th is is a halo state corresponding to the scattering resonance for two $^{86}$Sr atoms at low temperature. The measured binding energy, combined with universal theory for a very weakly bound state on a potential that asymptotes to a van der Waals form, is used to determine an $s$-wave scattering length $a=810.6(12)$,$a_0$, which is consistent with, but substantially more accurate than the previously determined $a=798(12),a_0$ found from mass-scaling and precision spectroscopy of other Sr isotopes. For the intermediate state, we use a bound level on the metastable $^1S_0-{^3P_1}$ potential. Large sensitivity of the dimer binding energy to light near-resonant with the bound-bound transition to the intermediate state suggests that $^{86}$Sr has great promise for manipulating atom interactions optically and probing naturally occurring Efimov states.
We employ two-photon spectroscopy to study the vibrational states of the triplet ground state potential ($a^3Sigma^+$) of the $^{23}$Na$^{6}$Li molecule. Pairs of Na and Li atoms in an ultracold mixture are photoassociated into an excited triplet mol ecular state, which in turn is coupled to vibrational states of the triplet ground potential. Vibrational state binding energies, line strengths, and potential fitting parameters for the triplet ground $a^3Sigma^+$ potential are reported. We also observe rotational splitting in the lowest vibrational state.
We investigate the prospects of using two-mode intensity squeezed twin-beams, generated in Rb vapor, to improve the sensitivity of spectroscopic measurements by engaging two-photon Raman transitions. As a proof of principle demonstration, we demonstr ated the quantum-enhanced measurements of the Rb $5D_{3/2}$ hyperfine structure with reduced requirements for the Raman pump laser power and Rb vapor number density.
