Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to illustrate some selected aspects of high resolution laser spectroscopy of Rydberg atoms, rather than giving an extensive review of the state of the art. The following topics will be discussed: (i) Excitation and detection of Ba Rydberg atoms with principal quantum numbers up ton≲300; (ii) Stark effect and atomic diamagnetism of high-n Ba Rydberg states in thel-mixing region, (iii) Resonance in singlet-triplet mixing of 6snp1P1 and 6snd1D2 Ba Rydberg states deduced from hyperfine structure measurements.
