Two Laser Raman Difference Technique Applied to High Precision Spectroscopy

Abstract

We have performed precision studies of stimulated resonance Raman transitions in an atomic beam and in a vapor. The extremely narrow resonances produced by such a scheme have applications in high resolution spectroscopy and in the development of new time and frequency standards. Our studies also provide fundamental information about the nature of atom-field interaction and can be compared directly with theoretical predictions.
