Optical double resonance polarization spectroscopy of Rydberg states in7Li2

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

With Doppler-free two-step polarization spectroscopy rovibronic levels of the 5 1 Δ g state in7Li2 are excited via selected levels of the intermediateB 1 Π u state. Perturbations between the 5 1 Δ g and the 4 1 Π g states are observed and molecular constants of the deperturbed state are deduced.
