Abstract
In a dense Na vapor, we have investigated the changes in the Doppler-b roadened shape of the D-2 line produced by the combined effect of lase r induced hyperfine optical pumping and collisions. The observed narro wing of the excitation spectrum observed on the backward scattered flu orescence light is explained by a simple rate equation model.
