· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
We have observed the 1S-2S transition in atomic hydrogen gas with a resolution of 5 parts in 10/sup 9/ by Doppler-free two-photon spectroscopy, using multimilliwatt cw radiation near 243 nm generated by sum-frequency mixing. The experiment opens the way to substantial increases in the accuracy of the Rydberg constant, the electron/proton mass ratio, and the Lamb shift of the Hydrogen 1S ground state.
