Abstract

Laser-atomic-beam investigations of the lithiumD1- andD2-line in magnetic fields were performed using cw-laser excitation and fluorescence detection. For both isotopes6Li and7Li, the hyperfine splittings of the ground level 22S1/2 and the upper level of theD1-line, 22P1/2, as well as the isotopic shifts of theD1- and theD2-line were determined from the registrations without field. In magnetic fields, Zeeman- and Paschen-Back-effects of the lines were studied. Using the Zeeman pattern of theD1-line for a calibration of the field strength, values for the hyperfine constantsA andB of the 22P3/2-level of7Li could be derived from the Zeeman pattern of theD2-line.
