Özet
An experimental investigation of the Cs 6s S-2(1/2)-> 6p P-2(3/2)-> 10s S-2(1/2) double-resonance two-photon polarization spectrum has been made. In the investigation, a linear polarization degree was measured to extract the alignment depolarization cross section in the cesium 6p P-2(3/2) level due to collisions between ground-level argon and excited 6p P-2(3/2) cesium atoms over the Zeeman coherences. The spectra show strong depolarization of the Cs 6p P-2(3/2) level. The measured alignment depolarization cross section value of 186 (58) A(2) is in good agreement with the experiment and theoretical predictions.
