Isotope shifts and hyperfine constants are reported for the radioactive isotopes [sup 81]Kr and [sup 85]Kr and the stable isotope [sup 83]Kr. The previously unreported nuclear moments of [sup 81]Kr were determined to be [mu][sub [ital I]]=[minus]0.909(4) nuclear magneton and [ital Q]=+0.630(13) b from the hyperfine constants. This work increases the number of transitions for which [sup 85]Kr hyperfine constants and isotope shifts have been measured from 1 to 4. The hyperfine anomaly for krypton reported in the previous measurement of [sup 85]Kr hyperfine constants [H. Gerhardt [ital et] [ital al]., Hyperfine Interact. 9, 175 (1981)] is not supported by this work. The isotope shifts and hyperfine constants of [sup 83]Kr measured in this work are in excellent agreement with previous work. Saturation spectroscopy was used to study transitions from krypton's metastable 1[ital s][sub 5] state to the 2[ital p][sub 9], 2[ital p][sub 7], and 2[ital p][sub 6] states. In saturation spectra, different line shapes were observed for the even- and odd-mass krypton isotopes. This even- versus odd-line-mass shape difference can be explained using the large cross section that has been reported for collisional transfer of the 1[ital s][sub 5] state excitation between krypton atoms. Two-color two-photon laser-induced fluorescence was used to measure the hyperfine spectra of the 1[ital s][sub 5-]4[ital d][sub 4][sup [prime]] transition using the 2[ital p][sub 9] state as the intermediate state. This technique proved to be more sensitive than saturation spectroscopy.
