Abstract
The saturation of the population of transitions can cause the shift of electronic levels of an atomic shell in addition to the Stark effect. Experimental results obtained for atomic potassium vapor and demonstrating a shift of the 4P(1/2) electronic level upon the saturation of the 4S(1/2)-4P(3/2) transition in the presence of the field of a nearly resonant laser pumping are discussed. The processes under study are clearly interpreted based on the classical model of the Lorentz harmonic oscillator, supplemented with data regarding the multiphoton bleaching of the medium in the spectral range under study.
