Abstract

It is demonstrated that time resolved laser spectroscopy can give atomic lifetime data with an accuracy of better than 0.5%. This is achieved by a single-photon counting delayed coincidence technique, using a mode-locked dye laser for the excitation. Natural radiative lifetimes are measured for the sodium and bismuth atoms.
