Abstract

We report on the first direct measurement of light-induced drift velocities of rubidium in an argon buffer gas. The effect of hyperfine pumping on the drift velocity has been eliminated by using two-frequency excitation. The results for the drift velocity are in good agreement with calculations based on a rate equation model.
