Abstract
We have measured the transition probabilities for three lines in Sm II. The measurements are made by studying optical nutation with a fast Doppler switching technique in collinear laser spectroscopy on ion beams. The recorded nutation curves are fitted to a quantum-optical theoretical model, and the transition probabilities are extracted. For all three lines, the measured transition probabilities are more accurate than those of earlier published measurements.
