摘要：
We report the first measurements of oscillator strengths for 4s S-2(1/2)-> np P-2(1/2,3/2) (19 <= n <= 57) Rydberg transitions in atomic sodium using a thermionic diode ion detector in conjunction with an Nd:YAG pumped dye laser system. The f-values have been calibrated with the measured photoionization cross-section from the 4s S-2(1/2) excited state at the first ionization threshold as 0.65(0.10) Mb. The binding energy of the 4s S-2(1/2) level is determined as 15 709.444(8) cm(-1) by employing the Rydberg relation to the observed np P-2(1/2,3/2) Rydberg series. Addition of the binding energy to the known energy of the 4s S-2(1/2) level yields the first ionization potential of sodium as 41 449.44(1) cm(-1), which is in excellent agreement with the recognized value.
