We investigate a new scheme for the production of ultracold molecules by manipulating wavepacket dynamics [1]. A pair of ultracold rubidium atoms is excited by a shaped femtosecond (fs) laser pulse creating a molecular wavepacket. The wavepacket is transferred to the electronic groundstate by a second laser pulse. The process is expected to be greatly enhanced by coherent control techniques [2].

Precursor experiments are presented which explore the interaction of fs-pulses with weakly bound Rb molecules in the electronic groundstate. We observe molecular fragmentation through one-photon processes. To demonstrate the applicability of coherent control techniques to ultracold molecules we performed an iterative closed loop experiment aiming to increase this molecule fragmentation by fs-pulses [3]. We achieved an increase in molecular fragmentation by shaped laser pulses compared to transform-limited pulses by 30%.
