High resolution laser spectroscopy of Xe(5p6 to 5p5 11s-prime) at 94.2 nm
Abstract
The present investigation is concerned with the use of tunable coherent radiation near 94.2 nm for high resolution spectroscopic studies of autoionizing transitions in Xe. The conducted experiments show that narrowband, tunable, Extreme Ultraviolet (XUV) radiation below 100 nm can be used to obtain profiles of absorption and ionization features in atoms with a resolution near the Doppler limit. Furthermore, the use of high accuracy wavemeters with the visible driving radiation allows measurements of absolute XUV wavelengths with an accuracy which is similar to that of the best classical techniques. An Xe 11s-prime autoionizing resonance energy level diagram with relevant linewidths from present experiments is provided, and xenon photoionization cross sections are shown.
