abstract:
A DFB diode laser at 1.500 ?m has been applied to
monitor absorption of the 5d6s 1D2 metastable state of barium in
a hollow cathode lamp. The laser has been used to repump barium
atoms from the metastable state in a thermal atomic beam.
Suitable repumping schemes are discussed in order to implement
efficient laser cooling of barium.
