Description
Summary:A phenomenon observed in a simple experiment with a diode laser is found to be a basis for a powerful spectroscopy. In this spectroscopy, the laser frequency is neither scanned nor modulated. High-resolution spectra in a wide radio-frequency range, such as Zeeman and hyperfine spectra in both of the ground and the excited states, are observed simultaneously by frequency analyzing the intensity fluctuation of the light transmitted through a sample cell. Demonstrating experiments are carried out with respect to the D1 and D2 lines of Cs and Rb atoms. (Author)
