About measuring the forbidden 1S-2S transition frequency of a hydrogen atom by stimulated Raman scattering

摘要

We demonstrate the possibility of measuring the forbidden 1S-2S transition frequency (121 nm) of hydrogen atom by the method of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) when atom from the 1S level moves to the 2S level through the intermediate 3P level. The frequency of the pumping field (103 nm) is close to the frequency of transition 3P-1S, and the frequency of the stimulated scattering (656 nm) - to the frequency of transition 3P-2S.
