3/2transitions in the87Rb atom upon cascade excitation in a magnetooptical trap Study of the Rabi splitting at the 5P3/2→ 5D5/2

The level splitting appearing upon cascade excitation of the 5D 5/2 and 5D3/2 levels of the 87Rb atom in a magnetooptical trap is studied experimentally. The 5S5/2 and 5P 3/2 levels are coupled by a cooling laser field, the Rabi frequency being comparable with the rate of spontaneous decay of the 5P3/2 level. The experimental spectral profiles are compared with a theoretical model. © 2010 Kvantovaya Elektronika and Turpion Ltd.
