Starting from a pure sample of ultracold 87Rb2 Feshbach molecules held in a 3D optical lattice we have performed spectroscopic measurements on electronically excited triplet molecules. We investigate the vibrational ladder down to the vibrational ground state with high resolution in the order of 1 MHz and find good coupling strength to the electronic ground state. In combination of our previous results[1],[2] this offers a promising route towards the production of molecules in the triplet ground state. In my talk I will report on the latest progress in our work.
