Аннотация:We performed high-resolution Fourier-transform spectroscopy measurements and direct-potential-fit of the shelflike RbCs (4) 1Σ+ state. Overall, 2317 rovibronic v′,J′ term values with v′∈[3,88], J′∈[7,276] were obtained with accuracy 0.01 cm−1 from the (4) 1Σ+→X 1Σ+,a 3Σ+ laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra. The mass-invariant potential energy curve constructed by means of the Chebyshev polynomial expansion reproduced the experimental term values of both 85Rb 133Cs and 87Rb 133Cs isotopologues with a standard deviation of 0.005 cm−1. We simulated the optical cycle X 1Σ+,a 3Σ+(v′′,J′′=0)→(4) 1Σ+(v′,J′=1)→X 1Σ+(v′′=0,J′′=0) appropriate to transfer translationally ultracold RbCs molecules into their absolute ground state from the weakly bound rovibronic levels of both singlet X 1Σ+ and triplet a 3Σ+ ground states. The optimal transfer via the intermediate (4) 1Σ+ state with v′=58,60, and 61 for 85Rb 133Cs as well as v′=59 and 61 for 87Rb 133Cs was predicted. The required spin-allowed (4) 1Σ+−X 1Σ+ and spin-forbidden (4) 1Σ+−a 3Σ+ dipole transition moments were obtained within the framework of ab initio quasirelativistic calculations. The predicted (4) 1Σ+→X 1Σ+,a 3Σ+ transition probabilities were consistent with the experimental relative intensity distributions for several (4) 1Σ+(v′)→X,a(v′′) LIF progressions.
