Abstract
Doppler-free high-resolution spectroscopy is applied to molecular iodine at 532 nm by Nd:YAG lasers. The main hyperfine components as well as the crossover lines are measured for R(56)32-0 and P(54)32-0 transitions by heterodyne beating of two I2-statilized lasers. The measured hyperfine splittings including both main and crossover lines are fitted to a four-term Hamiltonian, which includes the electric quadrupole, spinrotation, tensor spin-spin and scalar spin-spin interactions, with an average deviation of {difference} 1kHz. Absolute values of the electric quadrupole hyperfine constants for both the upper and the lower states are obtained. The rotation dependence of the ground-state (Ņ = 0) electric quadrupole constant eQq is found to be eQq(J) = -2452.556(2) - 0.000164(5)J(J + 1) - 0.000000005(2)J2(J + 1)2MHz.Citation
