Hyperfine structure and absolute frequency of the (87)Rb 5P(3/2) state.

چکیده
We have constructed two highly stable and reproducible (87)Rb D(2)-saturated-absorption spectrometers at 780 nm, using dither/third-harmonic lock-in detection and radio-frequency sideband techniques, respectively. We achieved +/-3-kHz reproducibility and agreement between these two independent systems. Heterodyne measurements of the hyperfine splittings of the 5P(3/2) state give its magnetic dipole (A) and electric quadrupole (B) hyperfine constants with a 10-fold reduction in uncertainty.

Se p 20 04 Lifetime and hyperfine splitting measurements on the 7 s and 6 p levels in Rb
We present lifetime measurements of the 7S 1/2 level and the 6p manifold of Rb. We use a time-correlated single-photon counting technique on a sample of 85 Rb atoms confined and cooled in a magneto-optical trap. The upper state of the 5P 1/2 repumping transition serves as the resonant intermediate level for two-photon excitation of the 7s level. A probe laser provides the second step of the exc...
متن کاملComparison of hyperfine anomalies in the 5 S 1 / 2 and 6 S 1 / 2 levels of 85 Rb and 87 Rb .
We observe a hyperfine anomaly in the measurement of the hyperfine splitting of the 6S1/2 excited level in rubidium. We perform two step spectroscopy using the 5S1/2 → 5P1/2 → 6S1/2 excitation sequence. We measure the splitting of the 6S1/2 level and obtain for the magnetic dipole constants of Rb and Rb A = 239.18(4) MHz and A = 807.66(8) MHz, respectively. The hyperfine anomaly difference of 8...
متن کاملPrecise fine-structure and hyperfine-structure measurements in Rb
We demonstrate a new technique for measuring the absolute frequencies of atomic transitions. The technique uses a ring-cavity resonator whose length is calibrated using a reference laser locked to the D2 line in Rb. The frequency of this line is known to be 384 230 484.468(10) MHz. Using a second laser locked to the D1 line of Rb, we measure the frequencies of various hyperfine transitions in t...
متن کاملMeasurement of the hyperfine splitting of the 6S1Õ2 level in rubidium
We present a measurement of the hyperfine splitting of the 6S1/2 excited level of rubidium using two-photon absorption spectroscopy in a glass cell. The values we obtain for the magnetic dipole constant A are 239.18 03 MHz and 807.66 08 MHz for Rb and Rb, respectively. The combination of the magnetic moments of the two isotopes and our measurements show a hyperfine anomaly in this atomic excite...

The 4d S0 ground-state transitions to the 4d 9 5p configuration of palladium (Pd) have been studied. For this purpose, a tunable, single-mode, deep-UV cw laser has been built to generate the sum frequency of a frequency-doubled Ti:S laser with a second Ti:S laser. The produced wavelengths range from 244 to 276 nm. From the measured spectra the frequency splitting due to hyperfine structure and ...
