The level splitting appearing upon cascade excitation of the 5D{sub 5/2} and 5D{sub 3/2} levels of the {sup 87}Rb atom in a magnetooptical trap is studied experimentally. The 5S{sub 5/2} and 5P{sub 3/2} levels are coupled by a cooling laser field, the Rabi frequency being comparable with the rate of spontaneous decay of the 5P{sub 3/2} level. The experimental spectral profiles are compared with a theoretical model. (laser spectroscopy)
