摘要：

The lifetime of the atomic cesium 5(2)D(5/2) State was measured with time-correlated single-photon counting spectroscopy. Ground-state cesium atoms were excited with a diode laser by use of an electric quadrupole transition. Analysis of the exponential decay of the cascade photons from the 6(2)P(3/2) State yields a 5(2)D(5/2) lifetime of 1225(12) ns. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
