Title: Zeeman and Stark Methods in Spectroscopy, Instrumentation*
Abstract: The energy difference between the Zeeman and Stark sublevels is usually far smaller than the line width of the optical transition in atoms at normal temperature due to Doppler broadening. Doppler-free techniques, such as level crossing, quantum beat and pulsed-field spectroscopy, are necessary for obtaining the values of g-factors and polarizabilities in optical spectroscopy. They make use of the interference effect in the transition amplitudes of simultaneous excitation from a level to two closely separated higher levels. Another technique widely used is atomic beam spectroscopy. Both techniques are presented in this article.
