This paper deals with the experimental studies of the rubidium (Rb) spectral lamp for the purpose of getting an excellent pumping light source for a Rb gas cell type frequency standard, or for a Rb microwave maser. Some of Rb lamps containing Ne, Ar, Kr, and Ne-Ar as a carrier gas were made by way of experiment. In order to observe the hyperfine spectrum of D1line, the Fabry-Perot type scanning interferometer was made, which is driven electrostrictively. The hyperfine components of D1line were resolved successfully. It was observed that the line which is used as a pumping source became intense as the lamp temperature was raised, and it began to be dipped and decrease, however, over the definite temperature. Also observed was that this optimum temperature differs from the temperature at which the integrated intensity of D1line shows a maximum.
