• Initial state for ultracold molecule (UM) spectra isa 3S+, mainly in v=20 and v=21, at low J.
• Initial state for molecular beam (MB) spectra is X 1S+, v=0 and v=1, at low J.

• Selection rules allow only W=1 for triplet states in the MB spectra, but W=0,1,2 for UM spectra.
• No rotational resolution due to pulsed laser linewidth, ~ 0.1 cm−1.

• To date, molecules with T < 1 mK can be produced only by combining ultracold atoms using photoassociation (PA) or magnetoassociation (MA).
• Both normally produce levels of very high v.
• Transfer to low v requires either:
1. Unusual PA mechanisms (e.g., FOPA).
2. Resonant coupling of small-R and large R levels due to electronic perturbations.
3. STIRAP-type Raman transfer. Optimal path often not obvious. The MB-UM method identifies it automatically.
Motivation II: how to producev=0 molecules?

Experimental scheme for UM (Storrs)
1) PA to form ultracold KRb*.
2) Spontaneous decay into the triplet ground state, a 3Σ+.
3) REMPI detection via intermediate states e(v, J ) .

Combined UM and MB spectra
• Intermediate states e(v, J ) can coincide.
• Comparison facilitates assignments.
• Multiplicative spectrum UMMB identifies Raman pathway SR1+SR2.

• Calculated from the potential energy curves of Rousseau, Allouche, and Aubert-Frécon, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 203, 235 (2000).
• Not shown is b 3P X 1S+, for which the FCFs are negligibly small.
• The 1 1P X transition has a larger electronic transition moment than 2 3S+ X, in addition to its larger FCFs.

Due to singlet-triplet mixing, the 1 1P1 and 2 3S+
1 levels are evident in both spectra.
The b 3P1 level is weak, but nevertheless visible, in the MB spectrum.

Avoided crossings between levels of equal W cause anomalous spin-orbit splittings for large R, much smaller for the 2 3S+ state than for b 3P.

Vibrational intervals DG from UM spectra
• Agreement of overall trends with theory shows that the potential energy curves have the correct shape.
• Some perturbations and scatter are evident, due to admixture between states
• Agreement with prior experiments for 1 1P is excellent, with just one level in disagreement.

Summary
• Numerous new assignments to the perturbed 1 1P – 2 3S+ – b 3P states of 39K85Rb are made by comparing UM and MB spectra.
• Good agreement with previous experiments (where available) and with potential curves from Rousseau, et al.
• The MBUM product spectrum automatically selects optimal pathways for STIRAP transfer of ultracold molecules to X 1S+, v=0.
• To be published in PCCP special issue (spectra) and JPC Letters (Raman pathway via MBUM product.)
