Abstract

We present results from two-photon photoassociative spectroscopy of the least-bound vibrational level of the X Σg+1 state of the Sr288 dimer. Measurement of the binding energy allows us to determine the s -wave scattering length a88 =-1.4 (6) a0. For the intermediate state, we use a bound level on the metastable S01 - P13 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.
