Abstract
We propose a method, which we call the coherent-coupling approach, to determine a slow spontaneous decay rate by coupling coherently a weak atomic transition to a strong one. This approach allows the indirect measurement of a small decay rate from the fast Fourier transform of the time-dependent intensity oscillations of the strong transition, and can be viewed as an alternative to the method of quantum jumps.
