An experimental method for the observation of r.f. transitions and laser beat resonances in oriented Na vapour

Экспериментальный метод наблюдения радиочастотных переходов и резонансы лазерных биений в орнентированных парах натрия

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

A method which allows a direct picture of phenomena involving line broadening, light shifts and many-photon transitions in the ground state of sodium atoms pumped by dye-laser is reported. A new phenomenon due to light beats between the different dye-laser axial modes has been easily evidenced by the method.

Riassunto

Si presenta un nuovo metodo che permette l’esame diretto di transizioni a più fotoni, di allargamento di righe e di spostamento di risonanze prodotto da intensa radiazione laser in vapori di sodio orientati otticamente. Con questo metodo si è messo in evidenza un fenomeno dovuto a battimenti tra modi di un laser a coloranti usato per il pompaggio ottico.

Резюме

Предлагается новый метод, который позволяет непосредственно исследовать многофотонные переходы, уширение линий и смещение резонанса, образованного интенсивным излучением лазера в оптически ориентированных парах натрия. С помощью этого метода подтверждается явление биений мод лазера в красителях, используемых для оптической накачки.
