چکیده
The fine-structure intervals in the ground 2 3P multiplet of lZC I have been measured with high accuracy by laser magnetic resonance. The results are: AR(3Y2-3P1) = 809.3446 (29) GHz and AE(3Y1-3Po) = 492.1623(7) GHz. These precise nieasurements have made possible the astronomical detection of far-infrared line emissions from I2C atoms in several interstellar sources, as reported in the accompanying Letter by Phillips et al.

Population change in the fine structure levels of cesium atoms using chirped laser
Here, the population transfer between two specific levels of Cesium atomunder the influence of chirped laser source has been numerically investigated. The maingoal of this study is the engineering of the population transfer between the 62S1/2 and 62P1/2levels of Cesium which is corresponding to its D1 transition line using a chirped lasersource. Constructing the system Hamiltonian, as well as t...
متن کاملOptical Pumping
Optical pumping uses light to affect the internal degrees of freedom of a sample of atoms in a vapor. These internal degrees of freedom are angular momentum states of the atomic ground state, which are populated when light is absorbed and emitted. This experiment reveals many phenomena of quantum mechanics including angular momentum selection rules, the density matrix, and resonance. Optical pu...
متن کاملFine Structure of the metastable a 3 Σ u + state of the helium molecule
The original article written by Lichten, McCusker, and Vierima reported the measurement of the fine structure of the v=0 vibrational state of the a 3 Σu + metastable state of He2 by a molecular beams-magnetic resonance (MBMR) machine from the afterglow of a pulsed helium plasma discharge. By fitting the measured zero field intervals in the N=1 and N=3 rotational levels, the author deduced the s...

متن کاملChopped nonlinear magneto-optic rotation: A technique for precision measurements
We have developed a technique for precise measurement of small magnetic fields using nonlinear magneto-optic rotation (NMOR). The technique relies on the resonant laser beam being chopped. During the on time, the atoms are optically pumped into an aligned ground state (Δm= 2 coherence). During the off time, they freely precess around the magnetic field at the Larmor frequency. If the on-off mod...
