Pressure and power broadening of the a10 component of R(56) 32-0 transition of molecular iodine at 532 nm
نویسندگان
چکیده
We determine the linewidth of the hyperfine structure a10 component of R(56) 32-0 transition of I2 at 532 nm using the dependence of the peak amplitude of the third-derivative signal on the modulation width. We also use the same method to investigate pressure broadening and power broadening of the a10 component. 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Rotation Dependence of Electric Quadrupole Hyperfine Interaction in the Ground State of Molecular Iodine by High-Resolution Laser Spectroscopy
Doppler-free high-resolution spectroscopy is applied to molecular iodine at 532 nm by Nd:YAG lasers. The main hyperfine components as well as the crossover lines are measured for R(56)32-0 and P(54)32-0 transitions by heterodyne beating of two I 2-stabilized lasers. The measured hyperfine splittings including both main and crossover lines are fitted to a four-term Hamiltonian, which includes th...
متن کاملHigh-performance iodine fiber frequency standard.
We have constructed a compact and robust optical frequency standard based around iodine vapor loaded into the core of a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF). A 532 nm laser was frequency locked to one hyperfine component of the R(56) 32-0 (127)I(2) transition using modulation transfer spectroscopy. The stabilized laser demonstrated a frequency stability of 2.3×10(-12) at 1 s, almost an o...
متن کاملDoppler-free spectroscopy of molecular iodine using a frequency-stable light source at 578 nm.
A stable light source obtained using sum-frequency generation (SFG) is developed for high-resolution spectroscopy at 578 nm. Hyperfine transitions of molecular iodine are observed by using the SFG light source with saturation spectroscopy. The light source is frequency stabilized to the observed hyperfine transition and achieves a stability of 2x10(-12) for a 1-s averaging time. The absolute fr...

The absolute frequency of the length standard at 514.67 nm based on the molecular iodine ( I2) transition of the P(13) 43-0 component a3 is measured using a self-referenced femtosecond optical comb. This frequency-based technique improves measurement precision more than 100 times compared with previous wavelength-based results. Powerand pressure-related frequency shifts have been carefully stud...
متن کاملHigh steady-state column density of I(2P3/2) atoms from I2 photodissociation at 532 nm: Towards parity non-conservation measurements
Steady-state column densities of 10(17) cm(-2) of I((2)P3/2) atoms are produced from photodissociation of I2 vapour at 290.5 K using 5 W of 532 nm laser light. Recombination of the I((2)P3/2) atoms at the cell walls is minimized by coating the cell surface with a hydrophobic silane (dimethyldichlorosilane/DMDCS). Operation at room temperature, and at an I2 vapour pressure of ~0.2 mbar, without ...
