Sodium D Line Data - Steck

Sodium D Line DataDaniel A. SteckTheoretical Division (T-8), MS B285 Los Alamos National LaboratoryLos Alamos, NM 8754527 May 2000(revision , 14 October 2003)1 IntroductionIn this reference we present many of the physical and optical properties of Sodium that are relevant to variousquantum optics experiments. In particular, we give parameters that are useful in treating the mechanical effects oflight on Sodium atoms. The measured numbers are given with their original references, and the calculated numbersare presented with an overview of their calculation along with references to more comprehensive discussions oftheir underlying theory. We also present a detailed discussion of the calculation of fluorescence scattering rates,because this topic is often not treated carefully in the current version of this document is available , along with Cesium DLine Data and Rubidium 87 D Line Data.

2 SODIUM PHYSICAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES 2 the transitions were measured in [6]; the frequenciesω 0 and the wave numbers k L are then determined via the following relations: λ = 2πc ω 0 k L = 2π λ. (2) The air wavelengthλ air = λ/n assumes index of refraction of n =1.000 268 21, corresponding to dry air at a pressure of 760 torr and a temperature of 22 C.The index of refraction is ...
