Correction for Systematic Wavelength Shifts in Atomic Beam Devices

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Light emitted or absorbed by atoms in an atomic beam is shifted in frequency relative to the frequency for a stationary atom if the light ray is not normal to the trajectory of the atom. The magnitude of this shift is calculated and several devices which correct for this effect are described. For photoelectric recording of interference fringes, complete compensation can be achieved. In the case of photographic recording, it is shown that the residual error is negligible.
