Abstract
We investigate the coherent two-color photoassociation (PA) process in a spinor-1 atomic Bose-Einstein condensate by comparing the single-spin and mixed-spin cases. We find that, by tuning the PA light applied on different spin components, one can observe quite different features for the atomic spin-mixing dynamics (with weak PA field) or coherent atom-molecule conversion (with strong PA field), indicating a research field of so-called superchemistry or coherent PA in a spinor gas.
