Abstract: | We present experimentally measured absolute values of the photoionization
cross sections from the 5s5p 1P1 and 5s5p 3P1 excited
states of strontium at the first ionization threshold as 11.4±1.8 Mb
and 10.7±1.7 Mb respectively using saturated absorption technique
along with a thermionic diode ion detector in conjunction with a Nd:YAG
pumped dye laser system. These threshold photoionization cross sections
values have been utilized to determine the oscillator strengths of the
5s5p 1P1↦5snd 1D2 and 5s5p 3P1↦5snd 3D2 Rydberg transitions. The oscillator strength densities in the
continuum corresponding to the 5s5p 3P1 excited state have also
been determined by measuring the photoionization cross sections at five
ionizing wavelengths above the first ionization threshold. Smooth merging of
the discrete f-values into the oscillator strength densities has been
observed for the 5s5p 3P1↦5snd 3D2 series across the
ionization threshold. |
