Abstract

We investigate an effective control of the laser-induced frequency shift of ultracold cesium molecules formed by photoassociation (PA) in a magnetically levitated crossed dipole trap via an external magnetic field. A series of molecular PA spectra have been measured with increasing the PA laser intensity at different bias fields. We find that the slope of laser-induced frequency shift is strongly dependent on the external magnetic field: the slope can be increased up to a maximum of $\sim 6$ times compared with a slope without an external magnetic field. A qualitatively theoretical explanation has been offered by considering the external magnetic field that can be used to manipulate the interaction between ultracold atoms.
