N2 - We report on a theoretical study of implementation of a single femtosecond optical frequency comb to perform an efficient transfer of Feshbach molecules to the ground electronic and rovibrational state. A standard optical frequency comb is considered with zero offset frequency and a sinusoidally phase modulated frequency comb, having modulation frequency in the IR region. A stepwise population transfer to the ultracold molecular state is observed, with a negligible population of the excited state in the case of the sinusoidally modulated frequency comb.
