Abstract

Based on cesium 6S1/2—6P3/2—6D5/2 (852 nm + 917 nm) ladder-type system, we simultaneously obtain the Doppler-free saturated absorption spectroscopy (SAS) between the 6S1/2 → 6P3/2 transition and optical–optical double resonance (OODR) spectroscopy between the 6P3/2 → 6D5/2 transition, when the frequency of 852 nm laser is scanned over the lower transition while keeping the 917 nm laser resonant on the upper transition. The SAS as a frequency scale is used to measure the frequency intervals of hyperfine splitting of the 6D5/2 excited state via the OODR spectra. With the measured values of hyperfine splitting, the hyperfine coupling constants of the 6D5/2 state are determined as magnetic dipole Ahfs = − 4.60 (5) MHz and electric quadrupole Bhfs = 0.23 (47) MHz, which are consistent with previous results. A simple and self-calibration method of measuring the unknown hyperfine structure of an excited state using its own known hyperfine splitting of another state is demonstrated without the aid of any extra frequency calibration tools.
