Abstract
The absolute frequency measurement for all of the hyperfine transitions of 6P1/2 -> 7S1/2 using a self-referencing frequency comb is reported. This transition can be used as a bench marker for the accurate atomic wave function, and then improve the calculation of the atomic parity- non-conservation (PNC). The frequency center is precisely determined by saturation spectroscopy utilizing a pair of the counter-propagating laser beams intersecting with atomic beam. Such a Doppler-free profile has been improved to 350 kHz in the absolute frequency measurement. The 7S1/2 state hyperfine splittings have also been deduced from our results.
