Absolute frequency measurement of rubidium 5S-6P transitions

Atomic Physics 2020-07-15 v1

Abstract

We report on measurements on the 5S-6P rubidium transition frequencies for rubidium isotopes with an absolute uncertainty of better than \SI{450}{kHz} for the 5S \rightarrow 6P1/2_{1/2} transition and \SI{20}{kHz} for the 5S \rightarrow 6P3/2_{3/2} transition, achieved by saturation absorption spectroscopy. From the results we derive the hyperfine splitting with an accuracy of \SI{460}{kHz} and \SI{30}{kHz}, respectively. We also verify the literature values for the isotope shifts as well as magnetic dipole constant and the electric quadrupole constant.
