2S hyperfine structure of atomic deuterium

We have measured the frequency splitting between the $(2S, F=1/2)$ and $(2S, F=3/2)$ hyperfine sublevels in atomic deuterium by an optical differential method based on two-photon Doppler-free spectroscopy on a cold atomic beam. The result $f_{\rm HFS}^{(D)}(2S)= 40 924 454(7)$ Hz is the most precise value for this interval to date. In comparison to the previous radio-frequency measurement we have improved the accuracy by the factor of three. The specific combination of hyperfine frequency intervals for metastable- and ground states in deuterium atom $D_{21}=8f_{\rm HFS}^{(D)}(2S)-f_{\rm HFS}^{(D)}(1S)$ derived from our measurement is in a good agreement with $D_{21}$ calculated from quantum-electrodynamics theory.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure

Photoionization Broadening of the 1S-2S Transition in a Beam of Atomic Hydrogen

We consider the excitation dynamics of the two-photon \sts transition in a beam of atomic hydrogen by 243 nm laser radiation. Specifically, we study the impact of ionization damping on the transition line shape, caused by the possibility of ionization of the 2S level by the same laser field. Using a Monte-Carlo simulation, we calculate the line shape of the \sts transition for the experimental geometry used in the two latest absolute frequency measurements (M. Niering {\it et al.}, PRL 84, 5496 (2000) and M. Fischer {\it et al.}, PRL 92, 230802 (2004)). The calculated line shift and line width are in excellent agreement with the experimentally observed values. From this comparison we can verify the values of the dynamic Stark shift coefficient for the \sts transition for the first time on a level of 15%. We show that the ionization modifies the velocity distribution of the metastable atoms, the line shape of the \sts transition, and has an influence on the derivation of its absolute frequency.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure

Two-photon excitation dynamics in bound two-body Coulomb systems including ac Stark shift and ionization

One of the dominant systematic effects that shift resonance lines in high-precision measurements of twophoton transitions is the dynamic (ac) Stark shift. For suitable laser frequencies, the ac Stark shift acquires an imaginary part which corresponds to the rate of resonant one-photon ionization of electrons into a continuum state. At the current level of spectroscopic accuracy, the underlying time-dependent quantum dynamics governing the atomic two-photon excitation process must be well understood, and related considerations are the subject of the present paper. In order to illustrate the basic mechanisms in the transient regime, we investigate an analytically solvable model scenario for the population dynamics in the density matrix formalism and describe in detail how to generalize the corresponding equations of motion for individual experimental use. We also calculate the dynamic Stark shift for two-photon S-S and S-D transitions in bound two-body Coulomb systems and the corresponding two-photon transition matrix elements. In particular, we investigate transitions for which the 1S ground state or alternatively the metastable 2S state acts as the lower-energy state, and for which states with n </= 20 represent the upper states. Relativistic and radiative corrections to the excitation dynamics, and the corresponding limitations to the accuracy of the measurements, are briefly discussed. Our considerations suggest the general feasibility of a detection mechanism, offering high quantum efficiency, based on two-step three-photon resonant ionization spectroscopy, for large classes of experimentally relevant two-photon transitions in two-body Coulomb systems.Peer reviewedPhysic
