摘要
Using a phase-looked laser pair we have observed dark resonances with linewidths below 30 Hz in a rubidium cell filled with neon as buffer gas. A model allowing for pressure broadening correctly reproduces the dependence of the width on the laser intensity. Consideration of velocity changing collisions reveals the absence of Doppler effeets in the position and width of the dark resonance at high buffer-gas pressure.
