Abstract

Doppler-free two-photon transitions of cesium 6S1/2→7D3/2, 5/2 were observed in a thermal stabilized cell. A repeated spectrum of 75 MHz introduced from the side band of an electro-optical modulator served as a frequency marker to improve the accuracy of frequency measurement. The hyperfine magnetic dipole constant A and electrical quadrupole constant B of Cs 7D3/2, 5/2 can be derived from the splitting intervals of the observed spectra. The results are: A=7.36(07) MHz, B=−0.88(87) MHz for the 7D3/2 state, and A=−1.81(05) MHz, B=1.01(1.06) MHz for the 7D5/2 state. These coefficients are improvements for testing high-precision measurements and determining fundamental physical constants.
