Hyperfine structures of the 2 3Σg+, 3 3Σg+, and 4 3Σg+ states of Na2

2004

The hyperfine structures of the 2 (3)Sigma(g) (+), 3 (3)Sigma(g) (+), and 4 (3)Sigma(g) (+) states of Na(2) have been resolved with sub-Doppler continuous wave perturbation facilitated optical-optical double resonance spectroscopy via A (1)Sigma(u) (+) approximately b (3)Pi(u) mixed intermediate levels. The hyperfine patterns of these three states are similar. The hyperfine splittings of the low rotational levels are all very close to the case b(betaS) limit. As the rotational quantum number increases, the hyperfine splittings become more complicated and the coupling cases become intermediate between cases b(betaS) and b(beta J) due to spin-rotation interaction. We present a detailed analysis of the hyperfine structures of these three (3)Sigma(g) (+) states, employing both case b(betaS) and b(beta J) coupling basis sets. The results show that the hyperfine splittings of the (3)Sigma(g) (+) states are mainly due to the Fermi-contact interaction. The Fermi contact constants for the tw...

Rotational spectrum of and : completely resolved nuclear hyperfine structures due to and

Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy, 2003

The pure rotational spectrum of 13 C 17 O has been observed in the millimeter-and submillimeter-wave region using the Lamb-dip technique in order to increase the instrumental resolving power and so to resolve both the hyperfine structure due to 17 O and that due to 13 C. In this way very accurate values of the rotational and centrifugal distortion constants, the 17 O nuclear electric quadrupole coupling constant and the 17 O and 13 C spin-rotation constants have been obtained. In addition, the J ¼ 1 0 and J ¼ 2 1 transitions of 13 C 18 O have been recorded using the Lamb-dip technique. The resolved hyperfine structure of these transitions allowed us to determine the rotational and 13 C spin-rotation constants. The experimental determination of all these parameters has been supported by ab initio computations.

The spin-vibration hyperfine interaction in the ν 3 band of 189OsO 4 and 187OsO 4: a calculable example in high-resolution molecular spectroscopy

Comptes Rendus Physique, 2004

Osmium tetroxide offers the beautiful example of a central particle, the osmium nucleus, with several possible spin values (1/2 for 187 Os and 3/2 for 189 Os), interacting with the very symmetric and well-defined electromagnetic environment created by a tetrahedron of spinless oxygen nuclei. Among other nuclear hyperfine interactions, the magnetic field generated by the vibrations of these oxygen nuclei orientates this central spin. To study specifically this spin-vibration interaction, the magnetic dipole contributions to the hyperfine structures observed in the ν 3 band of 189 OsO 4 and 187 OsO 4 have been analyzed in detail. Besides the spin-rotation constants already deduced in a previous paper, we have obtained the spin-vibration constant, A, and a small change of the spin-rotation constant δc a in the upper vibrational level. We have verified the speculated relation A = ζ 3 c a at the 1% level (ζ 3 is the Coriolis coupling constant, which multiplies the internal vibrational angular momentum to turn it into a physical angular momentum comparable to the pure rotation angular momentum). Starting from first principles, we have rederived the expressions of the magnetic dipole constants for any semi-rigid polyatomic molecule. When these are applied to OsO 4 , they justify the previous approximate relationship between A and c a and give values for the correction terms which account for the 1% difference.

Hyperfine spectroscopy on the 6 P 3/2 state of 133 Cs using coherent control

Europhysics Letters (EPL), 2005

We show that coherent-control techniques are uniquely suited for high-resolution hyperfine spectroscopy. We apply this method to a V-type system in the D2 line of 133 Cs The spectrum of a weak probe beam shows Doppler-free transparency peaks when the strong control beam is resonant with a neighboring hyperfine transition. The lineshape and linewidth are consistent with theoretical calculations. Using an acousto-optic modulator to calibrate the frequency of the control beam, we measure hyperfine intervals in the 6P 3/2 state with an accuracy of 6 kHz. The measurement is important because there is a large discrepancy between two earlier measurements on this state.

Measurement of the Hyperfine Structure of the 7P1/2 state and 8P1/2 state in 205Tl and 203Tl

2014

We report a final value of the hyperfine splitting of the 7P1/2 state of 205Tl and 203Tl made using a two-step excitation. Our final values are 2173.3(8) MHz and 2153.2(7) MHz respec-tively. We also measured the isotope shift of the 7S1/2 → 7P1/2 transition to be 534.4(9) MHz. These experimental hyperfine splitting values are ≈ 20 MHz larger than those mea-sured by another group in 1988 [1]. Our values bring the experimental values closer to the theoretical values published in 2001 [2]. Our data consists of spectra taken by scan-ning the second-step laser 6 GHz. For precise measurement of these spectra, we stabilize the first-step excitation using a method called laser locking. Using the same experimental layout, we are now working to measure the the hyperfine splitting of the 8P1/2 state of both isotopes.

Hyperfine structure and absolute frequency of the ^87Rb 5P_3/2 state

Optics Letters, 1996

We have constructed two highly stable and reproducible 87 Rb D 2-saturated-absorption spectrometers at 780 nm, using dither/third-harmonic lock-in detection and radio-frequency sideband techniques, respectively. We achieved 63-kHz reproducibility and agreement between these two independent systems. Heterodyne measurements of the hyperfine splittings of the 5P 3/2 state give its magnetic dipole ͑A͒ and electric quadrupole ͑B͒ hyperfine constants with a 10-fold reduction in uncertainty.
