Abstract

Spectroscopy of the rubidium 5P_3/2 yields 4D_5/2 transition near 1.529 micrometers has been performed using a single-longitudinal-mode erbium-doped fiber laser. Rubidium atoms were laser-cooled and confined in a vapor-cell Zeeman optical trap. This produced a dense sample of cold atoms and reduce the Doppler broadening of the transition to less than the natural linewidth. Transition linewidths of 10 MHz were observed on the 5P_3/2 yields 4D_5/2 transition and the fiber laser was actively stabilized to the 5P_3/2, F equals 3 yields 4D_5/2, F' equals 3 line of ⁸⁷Rb.
