Abstract
Results are given for a Stark-tuned double-resonance experiment, using a CO-laser pump and a diode-laser probe. The CO laser, operating on the 13-12 P(15) line at 1775.2588 cm(-1), is locked by Lamb-dip stabilization to one of the Stark components of the a(R)R(9, 9) nu(4) line of NH(3). The diode laser probes the aQ(9, 9) nu(2) line at 921.255 cm(-1), revealing a complex spectrum of sub-Doppler features, the narrowest of which are 5.3 +/- 0.3 MHz wide. As well as the resonances associated with population depletion of the common lower levels, we see line-narrowing effects that are due to two-quantum Raman-type processes and collision-induced resonances arising from state-changing collisions that preserve the molecular velocities. The zero-field a(R)R(9, 9) nu(4) line is established to be 264.1 +/- 5.0 MHz above the CO-laser line.
