Polarization Interference Spectroscopy

Scientific paper

Relative dipole matrix elements are measured by means of a new spectroscopic technique called polarization interference spectroscopy. It is a two-color two-photon nonresonant process that maps the matrix elements into the energy domain by means of quantum mechanical interference. The technique measures the relative magnitude of the reduced matrix elements, particularly those involving excited states, to accuracies that are an order of magnitude better than previously available. Also, for the first time the relative phase of the reduced matrix elements is measured. The ratio of reduced matrix elements for the transitions rm 3s ^2S_{1/2}--> 3p ^2P_{3/2}--> 5s ^2S_{1/2} to 3s ^2S_{1/2}--> 3p ^2P_{1/2}--> 5s ^2S_{1/2} in sodium is +1.0012(12). This result is in agreement with the result of +1 for J independent matrices.
