Our long-term aim is the efficient formation and vibrational cooling of ultracold Rb2 molecules to their vibrational ground state by pump-dump like processes via an intermediate excited state, theoretical predicted by [1]. First pump-probe experiments with femtosecond light pulses in a dark SPOT magneto-optical trap were successfully performed in order to gain information about the molecular dynamic in the excited state of the Rb-Dimer. The observed wavepacket oscillation periods are depending from the cut-off of the spectral frequencies (made in the Fourier plane of a zero-dispersion compressor) in the pump pulse below the Rb atomic D1 and D2 resonances, respectively. Linear chirps of the excitation pulse influence the pump-probe spectra. Measurements at different bright state fractions [2] of the trapped molecules provide advice about the origin of the molecules which are oscillating.
