Quantum efficiency improvement of a cesium based resonance fluorescence detector by helium-induced collisional excitation energy transfer
Quantum efficiency improvement of a cesium based resonance fluorescence detector (RFD) was achieved by enhancing the transfer in a particular channel of the RFD excitation scheme with noble gas-induced collisional excitation energy transfer (CEET). The influence of Cs-Ar and Cs-He collisional mixing between the 6D and 7P states in cesium on the quantum efficiency of the 6S -> 6D -> 7P -> 6S excitation scheme was investigated by fluorescence measurements at relevant transitions. Ar-induced CEET was found to have little effect on the fluorescence response and quantum efficiency of the Cs RFD excitation scheme. However, a 35 fold quantum efficiency increase in the cesium resonance fluorescence detector response at only moderate He pressures was observed.
