Abstract

Quantum beats arising from the hyperfine interaction were observed in the 7D3/2 to 5P1/2 transition in 85Rb. Theoretical expressions for the beat signals were fit to the data to determine the magnetic dipole constant a=1.415+or-0.030 MHz, electric quadrupole constant b=0.31+or-0.06 MHz and radiative lifetime tau =346+or-25 ns of the 85Rb 7D3/2 state.
