Title: Pressure broadening and shift of the cesium D{sub 1} transition by the noble gases and N{sub 2}, H{sub 2}, HD, D{sub 2}, CH{sub 4}, C{sub 2}H{sub 6}, CF{sub 4}, and {sup 3}He

Abstract

The pressure broadening and shift rates for the cesium D{sub 1} (6 {sup 2}P{sub 1/2}<-6 {sup 2}S{sub 1/2}) transition with the noble gases and N{sub 2}, H{sub 2}, HD, D{sub 2}, CH{sub 4}, C{sub 2}H{sub 6}, CF{sub 4}, and {sup 3}He were obtained for pressures less than 300 torr at temperatures under 65 deg. C by means of laser absorption spectroscopy. The collisional broadening rate, gamma{sub L}, for He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, N{sub 2}, H{sub 2}, HD, D{sub 2}, CH{sub 4}, C{sub 2}H{sub 6}, CF{sub 4}, and {sup 3}He are 24.13, 10.85, 18.31, 17.82, 19.74, 16.64, 20.81, 20.06, 18.04, 29.00, 26.70, 18.84, and 26.00 MHz/torr, respectively. The corresponding pressure-induced shift rates, delta, are 4.24, -1.60, -6.47, -5.46, -6.43, -7.76, 1.11, 0.47, 0.00, -9.28, -8.54, -6.06, and 6.01 MHz/torr. These rates have then been utilized to calculate Lennard-Jones potential coefficients to quantify the interatomic potential surfaces. The broadening cross section has also been shown to correlate with the polarizability of the collision partner.
