摘要:

我们测量了^{133}Cs蒸气中8 S_{1/2},9 S_{1/2},7 D_{3/2}和7 D_{5/2}态的绝对跃迁频率和超精细耦合常数。通过6 P_{1/2}或6 P_{3/2}中间态的逐步激发直接用来自稳定的飞秒激光器光学频率梳的宽带激光执行。激光束被分裂,反向传播和聚焦到一个室温的铯蒸气室。扫描频率梳的重复率,并且我们在激发态的衰变的7 P_{1/2,3/2} -> 6 S_{1/2}分支上检测荧光。通过在激光束路径中引入窄带干涉滤波器,隔离了不同状态的激发。使用非线性最小二乘法,我们发现测量的过渡频率和超精细耦合常数,是在协议与其他最近的测量8 S状态,并提供两个数量级的改进比先前公布的结果为9 S和7 D状态。

英文摘要:

We report measurements of absolute transition frequencies and hyperfine coupling constants for the 8S_{1/2}, 9S_{1/2}, 7D_{3/2}, and 7D_{5/2} states in ^{133}Cs vapor. The stepwise excitation through either the 6P_{1/2} or 6P_{3/2} intermediate state is performed directly with broadband laser light from a stabilized femtosecond laser optical-frequency comb. The laser beam is split, counter-propagated and focused into a room-temperature Cs vapor cell. The repetition rate of the frequency comb is scanned and we detect the fluorescence on the 7P_{1/2,3/2} -> 6S_{1/2} branches of the decay of the excited states. The excitations to the different states are isolated by the introduction of narrow-bandwidth interference filters in the laser beam paths. Using a nonlinear least-squares method we find measurements of transition frequencies and hyperfine coupling constants that are in agreement with other recent measurements for the 8S state and provide improvement by two orders of magnitude over previously published results for the 9S and 7D states.
