Abstract

Cold cesium atoms in a magneto-optical trap are probed by an additional weak laser beam. Resonances having a subnatural linewidth are observed on the probe beam absorption when the probe frequency is scanned about the trapping beam frequency. These resonances are interpreted in terms of stimulated Raman processes. They provide information on the internal as well as external states of the atoms in the trap.
