Precise Frequency Measurement of the 2$^{1}$S$_{0}$-3$^{1}$D$_{2}$ Two-Photon Transition in atomic $^{4}$He
Abstract
We present the first precise frequency measurement of the 2S-3D two-photon transition in He at 1009 nm. The laser source at 1009 nm is stabilized on an optical frequency comb to perform the absolute frequency measurement. The absolute frequency of 2S-3D transition is experimentally determined to be 594 414 291 803(13) kHz with a relative uncertainty of 1.6 10 which is more precise than previous determination by a factor of 25. Combined with the theoretical ionization energy of the 3D state, the ionization energy of the 2S state is determined to be 960 332 040 866(24) kHz. In addition, the deduced 2S and 2S Lamb shifts are 2806.817(24) and 4058.8(24) MHz respectively which are 1.6 times better than previous determinations.
