From radop to laser spectroscopy and back
1985
The paper reviews some techniques in optical spectroscopy of short-lived nuclei, their results regarding nuclear moments and isotopic shift, and their relation to the work of Professor K. Sugimoto.
Collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy
1987
The progress in atomic and molecular spectroscopy has gone hand in hand with improvements of the resolution. Before the tunable narrow-band lasers led to the invention of Doppler-free techniques, spectral lines from cooled hollow-cathode discharges(1) had typical widths larger than 300 MHz, and high resolution was achieved only in rf spectroscopy, e.g., within hyperfine structure multiplets, by the classical techniques like atomic beam magnetic resonance,(2) optical pumρing,(3) or double resonance.(4) While the Doppler broadening $$\delta {v_D} = {v_0}{\left( {{{8kT{\rm{ }}\ln {\rm{ 2}}} \over {m{c^2}}}} \right)^{1/2}}$$ (1) is negligible for resonance frequencies v 0 in the rf regime, the …
High Resolution Coherent Raman Spectroscopy: Studies of Molecular Structures
1992
One of the main advantages of the non-linear coherent Raman techniques is the high resolution that can be achieved in rovibrational spectroscopy. Typically an instrumental function of the order of several thousandths of a wavenumber is routinely achieved in SRS or CARS experiments. Since the first recording of the stimulated Raman spectrum of 12CH4 in 1978 [1], numerous studies of molecules have been performed [2–8]. We have built a stimulated Raman experiment in Dijon in which particular attention has been paid to the frequency measurement of the Raman lines [9]. We will describe the application of our experiment to a wide variety of molecules over the last few years: linear molecules, sph…
