  • 本文采用780 nm探测光与776 nm耦合光组成的双光子激发方案,测量了87Rb原子5D5/2态的荧光光谱,利用高分辨光谱仪首次实现了5D态经由6P和5P能级衰变至基态的多通道荧光光谱(包括420.3 nm、421.7 nm、762 nm以及795 nm)的光谱分辨,光谱分辨率优于0.5 nm。研究了探测光强度、耦合光强度及其偏振组合、缓冲气体对各通道荧光强度的影响。研究结果表明,探测光与耦合光功率增强会导致荧光信号出现饱和效应;偏振调制效应在圆偏振光条件下更为显著;充入缓冲气体Ne会加速饱和及自吸收过程,同时Ne原子与铷原子的碰撞促进了5D5/2→5D3/2能级的无辐射转移,增加了衰变路径,从而释放出新的荧光信号。该工作加深了对碱金属原子双光子激发动力学、碰撞诱导能级转移机制的理解,为碰撞效应对荧光测温过程的影响提供了实验参考,也为相关测温方案向里德堡体系的拓展提供了光谱学技术。

     

    In this work, a two-photon resonant excitation scheme composed of a 780 nm probe beam and a 776 nm coupling beam is employed to measure the fluorescence spectra generated by exciting 87Rb atoms to the 5D5/2 state. Using a high-resolution spectrometer, we achieve, for the first time, multi-channel fluorescence spectral resolution of the decay from the 5D state to the ground state via the 6P and 5P levels, with a spectral resolution better than 0.5 nm. The resolved spectra include the spontaneous emission lines at 420.3 nm, 776 nm, and 780 nm, as well as the fluorescence lines at 421.7 nm, 762 nm, and 795 nm that arise from collision-induced non-radiative transitions followed by spontaneous emission. The influence of the probe intensity, coupling intensity, and their polarization combinations on the fluorescence intensity of each channel during the excitation process is investigated. The results show that increasing the probe and coupling powers causes the fluorescence signals to saturate; some fluorescence components saturate more rapidly in a neon-filled vapor cell and exhibit a decrease due to collision-induced self-absorption. Compared with linear polarization, the modulation of fluorescence intensity by polarization is more pronounced under circularly polarized light. Furthermore, the effect of collision-induced non-radiative transitions on the fluorescence intensity of each channel is studied by introducing buffer gas at different pressures into the rubidium vapor cell. The results indicate that adding Ne buffer gas accelerates the saturation and self-absorption processes, while collisions between Ne and Rb atoms promote the non-radiative transition from the 5D5/2 to the 5D3/2 level, thereby adding decay pathways and generating new fluorescence signals. This work deepens the understanding of two-photon excitation dynamics and collision-induced energy transfer mechanisms in alkali metal atoms, provides an experimental reference for the influence of collisional effects on fluorescence thermometry, and offers spectroscopic techniques for extending related thermometry schemes to Rydberg systems.
