Resumen
The measurement of the cesium (Cs) 5p67d 2D5/2 excited state?s hyperfine splitting intervals and hyperfine interaction constants was experimentally investigated using a ladder-type (852 nm + 698 nm) three-level Cs system (5p66s 2S1/2?5p66p 2P3/2?5p67d 2D5/2) with a room-temperature Cs atomic vapor cell. By scanning the 698 nm coupling laser?s frequency, the Doppler-free high-resolution electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT)-assisted double-resonance optical pumping (DROP) spectra were demonstrated via transmission enhancement of the locked 852 nm probe laser. The EIT-assisted DROP spectra were employed to study the hyperfine splitting intervals for the Cs 5p67d 2D5/2 excited state with a room-temperature Cs atomic vapor cell, and the radio-frequency modulation sideband of a waveguide-type electro-optic phase modulator (EOPM) was introduced for frequency calibration to improve the accuracy of frequency interval measurement. The existence of EIT makes the DROP spectral linewidth much narrower, and it is very helpful to significantly improve the spectroscopic resolution. Benefiting from the higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and much better resolution of the EIT-assisted DROP spectra, the hyperfine splitting intervals between the hyperfine folds of (F? = 6), (F? = 5), and (F? = 4) of the Cs 5p67d 2D5/2 state (HFS6??5? = -10.60(17) MHz and HFS5??4? = -8.54(15) MHz) were measured and, therefore, the magnetic dipole hyperfine interaction constant (A = -1.70(03) MHz) and the electrical quadrupole hyperfine interaction constant (B = -0.77(58) MHz) were derived for the Cs 5p67d 2D5/2 state. These constants constitute an important reference value for an improvement of the precise measurement and determination of basic physical constants.
