description

Two-photon laser spectroscopy in a dense indium vapour allowed to investigatenp2P1/2, 3/2 states (n=27–35) for113, 115In with a thermionic diode. Precise data on the fine structure splitting of these states and the isotope shift of the two photon transitions have been obtained. The fine structure splitting shows a hydrogenic behaviour. By using the result of our isotope shift measurement in combination with literature values, level isotope shifts with reference to the ionization limit are deduced and analysed with respect to the different contributions.
