Abstract
- The results of an experimental study of population dynamics following excitation of [0pt] and [0pt] states of rubidium are reported. Excitation transfer and quenching cross-sections in collisions with ground state rubidium atoms, and natural lifetimes have been measured. The experiment was performed in a vapour cell, using pulsed two-photon excitation and photon counting detection. The analysis of time dependent signals was based on a rate equation model in which transitions induced by thermal radiation have been accounted for. The measurements yielded following results: (1) [0pt] state J-mixing cross-section: [0pt] ; (2) cross-sections for [0pt] excitation transfer process: [0pt] ; (3) quenching cross-sections: [0pt] , [0pt] , [0pt] ; [0pt](4) radiative lifetimes: [0pt] ns, [0pt] ns, [0pt] ns.
