Optical Stark Splitting of Rotational Raman Transitions

  • Conference paper
Book cover Laser Spectroscopy V

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 30))

Abstract

We report the observation of rotational state splitting in molecular nitrogen induced by a nonresonant optical field. The splittings are observed in high resolution inverse Raman spectra obtained during irradiation of the molecules by a pulsed 1.06 μm laser field. The magnitudes and signs of the Stark shifts are in agreement with predictions from polarizability theory for perturbing optical frequencies far from resonance with the molecular transitions.
