Abstract

The Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of weakly bound ⁶LI ₂ molecules in crossed optical near a Feshbach resonance was discussed. The molecular BEC made in single beam dipole trap with very elongated geometries. The molecule-molecule scattering length A _m = 170 ⁺¹⁰⁰ _-60 nm at magnetic field was measured for analyzing free expansions of pure condensates with up to 4 X 10 ⁴ molecules. The hydrodynamic expansions at and above resonance were also observed.
