High Temperature Calcium Vapor Cell for Absorption Spectroscopy on the Intercombination Line

ORAL

Abstract

We report on construction of a high temperature vapor cell for spectroscopy on the transition from the ground state to the 4s4p-$^3$P$_1$ state in calcium. The cell has a unique dual- chamber design that minimizes calcium loss and prevents window coating. The cell was designed to operate at a temperature of 750 degrees C to produce a vapor density of about 10$^{21}$ atoms/m$^3$.
