摘要
Dipole matrix elements were measured for two transitions of the gadolinium atom by detecting the laser-induced fluorescence as a function of laser intensity using Rabi flopping. Those values are 2.7×10-19 and 3.0×10-19 esu ·cm for 9D2-9F2(0–17381 cm-1) and 9D5-9D4(999–17931 cm-1), respectively. Optical Bloch equations for two-level atoms were calculated for each pair of magnetic sublevels, where the effects of inhomogeneous broadening and laser intensity fluctuation were included. Experimental results were well described by this model. This method is very useful for determining a dipole matrix element which is one of the basic parameters for laser isotope separation. © 1990 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.
