ENERGY TRANSFER IN COLLISIONS BETWEEN TWO EXCITED CESIUM ATOMS

Cesium molecules are pumped by a CW dye laser. Some of the excited molecules then pre-dissociate or collisionally transfer excitation to produce excited atoms at the 5D and 6P levels. The cross sections (in units of 10^-14cm²) for the excitation transfer process Cs(6P)+Cs(5D) →Cs(7D_J)+Cs(6S)for J being 5/2 and 3/2 are 5. 4 ± 50% and 4. 9 ± 50%, respectively. The cross sections (in units of 10^-14cm²) for the excitation transfer out of the 7D doublet i. e. , Cs(7D_J)+Cs(6S) →states other than Cs(7D)] for J being 5/2 and 3/2 are 1. 6 ±50% and 0. 34±50%, respectively. To obtain these cross sections, the intensities of 7D and 5D fluorescence emissions and the 6P atom density are measured by using the absorption equivalent width technique. The results are discussed in eomparison with those of other experiments.
