We present results of the pressure broadening and shift of the rubidium 5s {sup 2}S{sub 1/2}-6p {sup 2}P{sub 3/2} (420.2 nm) spectral line by argon and helium buffer gases at pressures below 10 torr. High-resolution absorption measurements were performed with a single-mode external cavity diode laser, having 20-GHz tuning range and a linewidth of about 1 MHz. Pressure broadening and shift parameters of Lorentzian hyperfine components have been determined. We obtained the redshift of hyperfine spectral lines for He and the blueshift for Ar.
