Rubidium Isotope Shift Measurement using Noisy Lasers

ORAL

Abstract

We describe theoretically why the typical advanced undergraduate rubidium SAS laboratory works well with free-running laser diodes, demonstrate it experimentally using these lasers tuned to either principal near-infrared transitions, and show an extension of the laboratory using the modulation transfer spectroscopy method.
