Part of the book series: Physics of Atoms and Molecules ((PAMO))

Abstract

The measurement of an optical oscillator strength (OOS) for an atomic transition has “classically” been done using the standard methods of absorption spectroscopy, (1) i.e., beam attenuation, and of anomalous dispersion and emission techniques. All of these methods involve the production of light sources and/or the detection of emitted photons coupled with the experimental difficulties(2) incurred, especially at shorter wavelengths. Consequently these classical methods have been applied mostly to transitions in the visible region of the spectrum. Recent developments, (3) however, have extended the convenient usable range of such laboratory light sources to less than 600 Å; but for shorter wavelengths the requirement of a synchrotron radiation source becomes necessary, with its attendant cost and size.
