Spectroscopic study of the 7p J$=$1/2 and 7p J$=$3/2 states in neutral cesium-133

POSTER

Abstract

Doppler free spectroscopy was performed on the 7p J$=$1/2 and 7p J$=$3/2 states in neutral cesium-133 using a frequency doubled titanium sapphire laser stabilized to a temperature stabilized ultra-low expansion optical cavity. The absolute frequencies for the centers of gravity of the two states were measured representing an improvement of a factor of 650 and 500 over previously reported measurements, respectively.[1] The magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole constants were also measured and found to be consistent with previously published values.
