Abstract

Whereas the resolution in optical investigations of free atoms is limited by different broadening mechanisms in the light source and the spectral equipment, resonance methods yield a linewidth which is limited essentially only by the Heisenberg uncertainty relation. For investigations of ground- and meta-stable states two methods. Optical Pumping (OP) and Atomic-Beam Magnetic Resonance (ABMR) can be utilized. In the first method, a spatial deflection of free atoms is used while the second method is an optical resonance method. For studies of short-lived excited states two additional optical precision methods are available: Optical Double Resonance (ODR) and Level Crossing (LC) spectroscopy. Resonance techniques can also be used for investigating liquids and solids. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and Electron-Nuclear Double Resonance (ENDOR) will be discussed. As the radio-frequency techniques make use of magnetic resonance, a general description of this phenomenon will be given.
