Measurement of (1)D(2) ? (1)F(3) microwave transitions in strontium Rydberg states using selective resonance ionization.
A new technique for state-selective detection of highly excited atoms is reported. It is usable over a much wider range of quantum numbers than previously available methods and has excellent time resolution. The high-state selectivity is used to measure the 5s(n + 2)d,(1)D(2) ? 5snf, (1)F(3) microwave transitions in strontium for n = 38-40.
