Hyperfine-structure splitting of the 716 nm R(90)3–10 molecular iodine transition

Abstract: We report on the hyperfine-structure splitting of the 716 nm R903-10 molecular iodine transition. We show that this particular iodine line provides a very useful frequency reference in the context of a laser cooling experiment of iron atoms, an atomic species that has so far never been laser cooled and trapped to our knowledge. We provide experimental values for the hyperfine constants ΔeQq and ΔC of the investigated iodine transition. Dispersive signals of this transition are also presented and used to lock t… Show more

“…In this paper, we have reported at the third percent level the first experimental determination of the isotope shifts of the 3d 7 4s a 5 F 5 − 3d 7 4p z 5 G o 6 Fe I line at 358 nm between all four stable isotopes 54 Fe (I = 0), 56 Fe (I = 0), 57 Fe (I = 1/2) and 58 Fe (I = 0), as well as the hyperfine structure of that line for 57 Fe. The knowledge of these frequency shifts is of primary importance in the context of any laser cooling experiment for iron atoms since the Fe I 358-nm line has been identified as the first accessible iron transition suitable for that purposes [2]. A King plot analysis has further yielded the field and specific mass shift coefficients of the transition.…”
