碰撞微扰下的双重激发态原子的近共振散射

本文研究了具有双重激发能级的钠原子系统在惰性气体碰撞微扰下对单色光的近共振散射。在不同的入射光频率下,通过对散射光各分量积分强度的测量,得出了每个能级激发截面随着偏调的变化规律,从钠原子与不同的碰撞微扰体相互作用势定性地说明了这些规律。 关键词：

NEAR RESONANT SCATTERING OF COLLISION PERTURBED ATOMS WITH DOUBLET EXCITED STATES

We investigated the near resonant scattering and collision induced fluorescence of sodium atoms with doublet excited states in a weak laser field. By changing the frequency of the incident light and measuring the integral intensities of the components of the scattered light, the near resonant excitation cross-section of each sublevel was obtained as functions of the frequency detuning. Their variations are qualitatively explained by the interaction potential between the sodium atom and various collisional perturbing species. We have measured the variation of the induced D₁ and D₂ fluorescence with laser power, density of sodium atoms and pressure of buffer gas. It is shown that the relation is linear. The experimental results are in agreement with the theory.
