LEVEL-CROSSING OPTOGALVANIC SPECTROSCOPY

Peter Hannaford, David S. Gough, George William Series

Published Nov 1, 1983• 6 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Optogalvanic spectroscopy is applied to the detection of level -crossings at zero and finite magnetic fields. The method provides a sensitive, Doppler-free technique for determining hyperfine structures in both lower and upper levels of atomic transitions.

High-frequency Doppler-free spectroscopy techniques are extended to weak UV transitions by combined visible-UV three-level saturation spectroscopy with no requirement of an intense UV source. Preliminary experiments in neon discharge are reported.

LEVEL CROSSING EXPERIMENTS IN THE Tm I AND Sm I SPECTRA

E. Handrich, A. Steudel, Richard E. Wallenstein +1 more

The lifetimes of 12 levels of the Tm I and of 4 levels of the Sm I spectrum have been measured using the technique of zero field level crossing (Hanle effect). For two Tm I levels the hyperfine splitting of 169Tm was also measured by investigating the level crossings at finite magnetic fields. The lifetimes of the Tm I levels are discussed using the eigenvectors recently derived by Camus.

The Hanle effect and level crossing spectroscopy in Rb vapour under strong laser excitation

Jānis Alnis, Kaspars Blushs, Marcis P. Auzinsh +3 more

We measure and simulate numerically the Hanle effect and non-zero field level crossing signals in 85 Rb and 87 Rb atoms in a magnetic field at room temperature. Diode laser radiation from 4 mW cm −2 to 3.3 W cm −2 tuned to the D 2 absorption line of each isotope excites atoms into all the excited-state hyperfine levels simultaneously inside the unresolved Doppler profile. Polarization fluorescence detection is used to observe dark and bright resonances, as well as non-zero field level crossing resonances, for several excitation lines. A broad spectral line excitation model is applied to analyse the measured signals. The non-linear Zeeman effect is included in the model for both ground and excited states. Although the applied magnetic field does not exceed 80 G, several hyperfine levels of the excited state show a substantial deviation from the linear Zeeman effect.

PHOTOASSOCIATION SPECTROSCOPY OF ${^{85}}Rb_{2}$ NEAR ITS DISSOCIATION LIMIT

R. S. Freeland, Ph. W. Courteille, Chin‐Chun Tsai +4 more

We present results which probe the structure of ${^{85}}Rb_{2}$ very near its lowest dissociation limit. To obtain these results, we used two different variations of photoassociation spectroscopy of laser-cooled and trapped ${^{85}}Rb$ atoms. First, we have determined the positions of twelve of the highest vibrational levels of ${^{85}}Rb_{2}$, all bound by less than $0.7 cm^{-1}$, with two-color (free-bound-bound) photoassociation spectroscopy. The levels lie in an energy range for which singlet and triplet states are strongly mixed by the hyperfine interaction. We found that we could accurately describe these states with a novel coupled-channels inverse perturbation analysis. In a second experiment, we have carried out Zeeman-resolved photoassociation spectroscopy. This technique allowed us to probe the energy range in the lowest part of the electronic ground state continuum, which lies between the dissociation limits corresponding to different hyperfine states of the separated atoms. With this method, we have observed a Feshbach scattering resonance in the continuum for the first time, which we find can be tuned to zero energy with a magnetic field.
