Description

We report an experiment in xenon which confirms the theoretical predictions (Payne et al, Phys. Rev. A48, 2334 (1993)) on the pressure dependent suppression of the ac Stark shifting of even-photon resonances. In the co-propagating configuration the ac Stark due to a second laser is totally suppressed at elevated concentrations due to a destructive interference between two excitation pathways. The ac Stark shift persists in the counter-propagating configuration because of the absence of destructive interference. copyright American Institute of Physics 1995
