Abstract

In this paper we investigate the hyperfine structure and isotope shift of four near infrared xenon transitions by means of a semiconductor diode laser. Doppler free spectra were obtained by using either a saturation spectroscopy technique in cell or a laser induced fluorescence technique on a collimated atomic metastable beam. The hyperfine coupling constants of 129Xe and 131Xe were determined for the levels 1s5, 1s4, 1s42, 2p2, 2p4 and 2p6 (Paschen notation). Moreover, a systematic study of the isotope shift was performed for the 1s3 → 2p4 and 1s5 → 2p6 transitions for which all the stable isotopes 128–131Xe , 132Xe, 134Xe, and 136Xe were fully resolved.
