Measurement of transition dipole moments in lithium dimers using electromagnetically induced transparency

Phys Rev Lett. 2002 Apr 29;88(17):173003. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.173003. Epub 2002 Apr 15.

Abstract

We have observed electromagnetically induced transparency in a Doppler broadened molecular cascade system using fluorescence detection. We demonstrate that the power-dependent splitting of lines in the upper-level fluorescence excitation spectrum can be used as a new spectroscopic tool for the measurement of molecular transition dipole moment functions.
