Abstract
We have experimentally investigated the resonant optical response of a part ially excited high-density atomic potassium vapor under conditions where lo cal-held effects strongly influence the response. We have measured the exci tation dependence of the Lorentz local-field shift, and found it to be in e xcellent agreement with theoretical predictions. [S1050-2947(99)09601-8].
