Abstract
We propose that selective reflectivity at a glass-gas interface be used to measure the elusive frequency shift associated with the self-broadening of a gas of two-level atoms. We find that the imaginary part of the reflection coefficient exhibits the shift most cleanly. We also find that the reflectivity is shifted from the dialectric cosntant by an amount of the same order but opposite sign as the shift between the dielectric constant and the bare atom resonance.
