A new technique to study Rydberg states by multiphoton ionization spectroscopy

Description

A new technique to study the Rydberg states of the Ba atom has been developed. In this technique a Multiphoton Ionization signal is detected by selective excitation of the ground state ion (6s) to an excited state (6p), which results in a collimated Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) signal at the 6p → 5d transition of Ba+. Discrete Rydberg states, 6snl (l=0.2), as well as autoionizing Rydberg states, 5dnl (l=0.2) and 6pnl (l=0.2) are observed by this novel but very simple method
