Abstract
To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the quantum defects of and highly-excited states of neutral mercury. The frequencies of 36 measured two-photon Rydberg–Rydberg transitions were fitted by Rydberg–Ritz formula to derive the quantum defect values. The transitions were driven from Rydberg singlet and triplet levels selectively populated via two-step laser excitation scheme. The observed transitions spanned the frequency range 49–81 GHz and the range of the principal quantum number The details of the experiment are presented.
