Abstract

A type of double resonance experiment is reported in which resonance fluorescence from an atomic vapour is excited by modulated light. The amplitude of modulation of the fluorescent light undergoes changes which indicate an atomic resonance when the frequency of modulation is equal to the Larmor frequency of the atoms in an applied magnetic field, or equal to twice that frequency. The effects have been studied in the intercombination line, λ 3261 A, of cadmium. They are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The method could be applied to the spectroscopy of excited atoms.
