摘要
Lifetimes of 21 excited states in atomic Yb were measured using time-resolved fluorescence detection following pulsed laser excitation. The lifetime of the 4f(14)5d6s D-3(1) state, which is of particular importance for a proposed study of parity nonconservation in atoms, was measured to be 380(30) ns.
