Nonadiabatic effects in (1~2)1Π–X1Σ+ rovibronic transitions of KRb molecules

Abstract

Numerical simulation of the effect of intramolecular electrostatic interactions on redistribution of relative intensities in the vibrational structure of (1 ~ 2)¹Π–X¹Σ⁺ rotationally resolved transitions of the KRb molecule is performed within the precision nonadiabatic model of coupled vibrational channels. It is established that mutual perturbation of electronically excited states modifies in a nontrivial way a nodal structure of nonadiabatic wavefunction of the (1 ~ 2)¹Π complex, which is possible to use for rising efficiency of twostep laser synthesis and stabilization of ultracold ensembles of KRb molecules in the ground electronic state.
