Abstract
We apply two-photon resonant nondegenerate four-wave mixing with a resonant intermediate state for the observation of Rydberg states in sodium vapour. The broadening and shift of the sodium 3S-11D transition perturbed by argo n are investigated. This technique can achieve Doppler-free resolution of n arrow spectral structures of Rydberg levels if lasers with narrow bandwidth s are employed.
