We measure the lifetime of the cesium $5^2D_{5/2}$ state using a time-resolved single-photon-counting method. We excite atoms in a hot vapor cell via an electric quadrupole transition at a wavelength of $685,mathrm{nm}$ and record the fluorescence of a cascade decay at a wavelength of $852,mathrm{nm}$. We extract a lifetime of $1353(5),mathrm{ns}$ for the $5^2D_{5/2}$ state, in agreement with a recent theoretical prediction. In particular, the observed lifetime is consistent with the literature values of the polarizabilities of the cesium $6P$ states. Our measurement contributes to resolving a long-standing disagreement between a number of experimental and theoretical results.
The lifetime of the metastable 5d$^2$D$_{5/2}$ state has been measured for a single trapped Ba$^+$ ion in a Paul trap in Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) in the 10$^{-10}$ mbar pressure range. A total of 5046 individual periods when the ion was shelved in thi
We present a measurement of the branching fractions for decay from the long-lived $5D_{5/2}$ level in Ba. The branching fraction for decay into the $6S_{1/2}$ ground state was found to be $0.846(25)_{mathrm{stat}}(4)_{mathrm{sys}}$. We also report an
The zero crossing of the dynamic differential scalar polarizability of the $S_{1/2}-D_{5/2}$ clock transition in $^{138}$Ba$^+$ has been determined to be $459.1614(28),$THz. Together with previously determined matrix elements and branching ratios, th
Measurement of the $^{138}$Ba$^+$ ${}^2S_{1/2} - {}^2D_{5/2}$ clock transition frequency and $D_{5/2}$ Lande $g_J$ factor are reported. The clock transition frequency $ u_{mathrm{Ba}^+}=170,126,432,449,333.31pm(0.39)_mathrm{stat}pm(0.29)_mathrm{sys},
We report a measurement of the lifetime of the cesium $7s,^2S_{1/2}$ state using time-correlated single-photon counting spectroscopy in a vapor cell. We excite the atoms using a Doppler-free two-photon transition from the $6s,^2S_{1/2}$ ground state,
