Light Sources for the Excitation of Atomic Resonance Fluorescence in Potassium and Rubidium*

摘要: A description is given of radio frequency light sources which produce potassium and rubidium resonance radiation high intensity. The properties the spectral lamps have been systematically investigated in relation to their operating parameters. rf emit lines much higher peak intensities, smaller halfwidths degrees self-reversal than do commercially available lamps. Typical produced by were found be 0.15 cm−1 0.37 cm−1, respectively, compared with corresponding widths 0.34 1.5 emitted Osram operated at low currents.
