Abstract

A method for determining optical density at the center of an atomic absorption line contour from the spacing between the components of the two-frequency generation spectrum of a laser with a phase-polarization selector is suggested. It is shown that the method makes it possible to measure the largest possible optical densities, but it is not suitable for measuring optical densities smaller than unity. Optical densities at the center of the D-lines of sodium are measured experimentally. A good agreement between experimental and predicted data is obtained.
