Abstract

Observation of Electric Quadrupole Transitions in Multiphoton Ionization

Melissa Lambropoulos, Stephen E. Moody, Stuart James Smith +1 more

Two flashlamp-pumped, tunable, dye lasers have been utilized to study three-photon ionization in atomic sodium. The resulting ion yield shows large peaks at laser frequencies which correspond to electric quadrupole transitions. This is the first direct observation of electric quadrupole effects in multiphoton ionization. The $3p^{2}P_{\frac{3}{2}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}4f$ matrix element is determined, and the fine-structure splitting of the $5p$ state is measured.

Experimental determination of the electric quadrupole moment and collisional depolarization of J=3/2 cesium atoms with krypton using linear polarization spectroscopy

Prakash Koirala

We studied the effect of depolarization of the atomic cesium in the 6p 2 P 3/2 level by using two-photon two-color nano-second pulse lasers in collision with krypton buffer gas at various pressures.We used linearly polarized dye lasers at 852.112 nm and at 603.409 nm wavelengths for the 6s 2 S 1/2 → 6p 2 P 3/2 → 10s 2 S 1/2 transition.Excitation of the ground state cesium atoms by linearly polarized light produces an electric quadrupole moment in the excited state.The polarization degree of the emission spectra was measured and was used to calculate the alignment (electric quadrupole moment) in the 6p 2 P 3/2 state.Further,the collisional depolarization effect on the linear polarization was measured at various buffer gas pressures from the spectra and it showed a strong pressure dependence on the polarization spectrum.Finally, we extracted the collisional depolarization cross-section of the 6p 2 P 3/2 Cs atoms in collision with Kr from the measured linear polarization spectrum.

Doppler-free approach to optical pumping dynamics in the 6S_1/2−5D_5/2 electric quadrupole transition of cesium vapor

Eng Aik Chan, Syed Abdullah Aljunid, Nikolay I. Zheludev +2 more

electric quadrupole transition is investigated in cesium vapor at room temperature via nonlinear Doppler-free 6P-6S-5D three-level spectroscopy. Frequency-resolved studies of individual E2 hyperfine lines allow one to analyze the optical pumping dynamics, polarization selection rules, and line intensities. It opens the way to studies of transfer of light orbital angular momentum to atoms and the influence of metamaterials on E2 line spectra.

Collision-induced shifts of Rydberg levels of strontium

M. Marafi, K. S. Bhatia, Yacoub Makdisi +1 more

Measurements of spectral line shifts induced by collisions with rare gas perturbers are reported. High Rydberg states were prepared by multiphoton excitation using an excimer pumped tunable dye laser. A thermionic detector inside a heat pipe was used to collect the ionization products resulting from excited states. Analysis of the data for the shifts of the absorption transition to 5snd 1D 2 states in strontium is presented.

Repumping and spectroscopy of laser-cooled Sr atoms using the (5s5p)3P2–(5s4d)3D2transition

Pascal G. Mickelson, Y N Martinez de Escobar, P Anzel +5 more

We describe repumping and spectroscopy of laser-cooled strontium (Sr) atoms using the (5s5p) 3 P 2 –(5s4d) 3 D 2 transition. Atom number in a magneto-optical trap is enhanced by driving this transition because Sr atoms that have decayed into the (5s5p) 3 P 2 dark state are repumped back into the (5s 2 ) 1 S 0 ground state. Spectroscopy of 84 Sr, 86 Sr, 87 Sr and 88 Sr improves the value of the (5s5p) 3 P 2 –(5s4d) 3 D 2 transition frequency and determines the isotope shifts for the transition accurately enough to guide laser-cooling experiments with less abundant isotopes.

Single, trapped Sr^+ atom: laser cooling and quantum jumps by means of the 4d^2D_5/2–5s^2S_1/2 transition

Alan A. Madej, J. D. Sankey

A single Sr+ atom was confined in a radio-frequency quadrupole trap and laser cooled with resonant laser light. Examination of the transition Doppler profile indicated an ion kinetic temperature of less than 500 mK. Quantum jumps into and out of the metastable 4d(2)D(5/2) level were observed by laser excitation on the electric-quadrupole-allowed transition from the ground state at 674 nm. The dark and bright periods in the strong fluorescence showed variations owing to the applied driving field on the electric-quadrupole transition. These results provide an improved determination of tau = 372 +/- 25 msec for the natural metastable-state lifetime.
