| Abstract | The sizable ground-state nuclear polarization which accompanies the optical pumping of the 3H4 − 1D2 (16 872-cm−1) σ transition of Pr3+ in LaF3 was utilized to observe enhanced and saturated absorptions within the inhomogeneously broadened spectral line. The observed hyperfine splittings of the lowest 1D2 state are 3.7 and 4.7 MHz at 2.0°K. These splittings were fitted by a spin Hamiltonian H=D[I2z − I(I+1)/3]+(E/2)(I2+ + I2−), where D=−1.10±0.05 and E=−0.48±0.05 MHz. The observed linewidths (including the exciting laser linewidth) were 0.8 MHz. The deconvoluted optical transition linewidths (full widths at half-maximum) are 0.20±0.05 MHz. |
