Continuous-wave measurement of the hydrogen 1S-2S transition frequency.
- Abstract:
-
We have measured the 1S-2S transition frequency in atomic hydrogen with a precision of 7 parts in 1010 by continuous-wave Doppler-free two-photon spectroscopy. We employ cavity-enhanced multimilliwatt radiation near 243 nm produced by sum-frequency generation, and we observe the 1S-2S transition in a low-pressure hydrogen-helium cell with a resolution of 3 parts in 109. For a frequency comparison we detect an optical heterodyne signal at the difference frequency between the 243-nm light used ...
