Laser Spectroscopy with Nanometric Cells Containing Atomic Vapor of Metal: Influence of Buffer Gas

Comparison of absorption and fluorescence in a nano-cell containing Rb vapor with other Rb nano-cells where neon gas is added is presented. The effect of collapse and revival of Dicke-type narrowing is still observable for the Rb nano-cells where Ne gas is added under 6 and 20 Torr pressure for the thickness L=/2 and L=, where  is a resonant laser wavelength 794 nm (D1 line). Particularly fo...

Laser Diode Gas Spectroscopy

The use of laser sources for optical spectroscopy experimentation is a well-established, cross-disciplinary field with an enormous number of applications in research areas as broad as Physics, Chemistry or Biology (Demtröder, 1996). The high optical intensity achieved with these types of sources, along with the extraordinary monochromaticity of their optical output, has a huge impact in spectro...

Doppler-free laser spectroscopy of buffer-gas- cooled molecular radicals

We demonstrate Doppler-free saturated absorption spectroscopy of cold molecular radicals formed by laser ablation inside a cryogenic buffer gas cell. By lowering the temperature, congested regions of the spectrum can be simplified, and by using different temperatures for different regions of the spectrum a wide range of rotational states can be studied optimally. We use the technique to study t...
