Abstract

High-Resolution Doppler-free two-photon spectra of the $|6S_{1/2},F\rangle-|7D_{3/2,5/2},F\rangle$, transition in cesium are observed using a Ti-Sapphire laser. A repeat two- photon spectrum is used as a frequency maker with signals recorded from the zero- and first-order laser beams generated by an acousto-optic modulator. The hyperfine coupling constants A (magnetic dipole constant) and B (electric quadrupole constant) are determined using spectral line splittings, giving $A=7.12(07)\,MHz$, and $B=0.29(89)\,MHz$ for the $7D_{3/2}$ level, and $A=-1.57(13)\,MHz$, and $B=-0.54(64)\,MHz$ for the $7D_{5/2}$ level. To authors knowledge, these hyperfine two- photon transitions have been observed for the first time. These spectra can be used as an optical frequency standard in the near-infrared region of 767\,nm.
