We present a precise measurement of the hyperfine structure of cesium 7 S 1 / 2 excited state by employing electromagnetically induced spectroscopy (EIS) with a cesium three-level cascade ( 6 S 1 / 2 − 6 P 3 / 2 − 7 S 1 / 2 ) atom in a room temperature vapor cell. A probe laser, λ p = 852 nm, was coupled to a transition | 6 S 1 / 2 ⟩ → | 6 P 3 / 2 ⟩ , related frequency locked to the resonance hyperfine transition of | 6 S 1 / 2 ⟩ → | 6 P 3 / 2 ⟩ with a Fabry–Perot (FP) cavity and an electro-optic modulator (EOM). A coupling laser, λ c = 1470 nm, drove the | 6 P 3 / 2 ⟩ → | 7 S 1 / 2 ⟩ transition with the frequency scanned over the | 6 P 3 / 2 ⟩ → | 7 S 1 / 2 ⟩ transition line. The hyperfine level interval was extracted to be 2183.61 ± 0.50 MHz by analyzing EIS spectroscopy. The optical–optical double-resonance (OODR) spectroscopy is also presented for comparison, with the corresponding value of the hyperfine level interval being 2183.48 MHz ± 0.04 MHz, and the measured hyperfine splitting of excited 7 S 1 / 2 state is shown to be in excellent agreement with the previous work.

The saturation of level populations induced in a molecule by an intense laser beam may be probed by a second beam at the same or a different frequency. A number of schemes have been based on this principle for simplifying complex spectra or for achieving sub-Doppler resolution. Fluorescence detection provides the sensitivity for studies on free radicals and other transient molecular species. The two beams may be provided by two separate lasers, or by sideband modulation of a single laser. These techniques are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on recent studies of hyperfine structure, of Stark splittings, and of Zeeman splittings.

Hyperfine structure for several E(0g+)–B(0u+) rovibrational transitions has been measured for the first time. Two single frequency lasers were used to excite E(0g+)(υ*, J*)–B(0u+)(υ′, J′) – X(1Σg+)(υʺ, Jʺ) transitions which result in Doppler-free E(0g+)(υ*, J*)–B(0u+)(υ′, J′) fluorescence excitation spectra. Hyperfine parameters are obtained for E(0g+)υ = 11 (eQq = +483±4 MHz, C = –210±3 kHz) and E(0g+)υ = 8 (eQq = +492.3±2.5 MHz, C = –205±3 kHz). The non-zero C constant is shown to arise from mixing with a nearby 1g state and the eQq constant shows the 3P2(I+) origin of the E(0g+) state.
