Abstract

The feasibility of ultrahigh-resolution coherence spectroscopy with a train of picosecond light pulses from a synchronously pumped mode-locked and cavity-dumped dye laser is demonstrated. Narrow resonances of periodic pulse excitation are observed whenever the pulse repetition rate of the laser of a higher harmonic coincides with the frequency splitting of coherently excited levels. The zero-field hyperfine splitting of the Na-ground state (1771.6 MHz) could be measured in the 2100th order of the excitation rate with a resonance halfwidth of 800 Hz.
