Quantified absorption of laser light by silver atoms in a hollow-cathode lamp

Matthew P. Wilde, Richard G. Wolfendale, Mark Bengyel +2

We present a quantitative study of laser absorption on the $5{}^2{\mathrm{S}}_{1/2}\to 5{}^2{\mathrm{P}}_{3/2}$ transition of silver in a hollow-cathode lamp. Spectra obta…
