[en] We show that it is possible to excite higher rotational states J>2 in ultracold photoassociation by two laser fields. Usually higher J states are suppressed in photoassociation at ultracold temperatures in the regime of Wigner threshold laws. We propose a scheme in which one strong laser field drives photoassociation transition close to either J=1 or J=2 rotational state of a particular vibrational level of an electronically excited molecule. The other laser field is tuned near photoassociation resonance with J>2 rotational levels of the same vibrational state. The strong laser field induces a strong continuum-bound dipole coupling. The resulting dipole force between two colliding atoms modifies the continuum states forming continuum-bound dressed states with a significant component of higher partial waves in the continuum configuration. When the second laser is scanned near the resonance of the higher J states, these states become populated due to photoassociative transitions from the modified continuum.
