The weak oscillator strength of a lower excited state for V-type energy structure atoms limits the high signal-to-noise ratio of atomic laser spectroscopy, which can be usually realized by optical-optical double-resonance or double-resonance optical pumping for cascade-type energy structure atoms. For ^87Rb atoms, the weak 420 nm transition spectrum between the energy level of 5^2S1/2 and 6^2P3/2 is transferred to the spectrum on lower excited states at 780nm with strong oscillator strength, which is recorded by a 780 nm probe laser. This method, which ＆ similar to the electron-shelving detection method, at a certain degree can indirectly measure a higher excited state transition with weak oscillator strength for any V-type energy structure of atoms by transferring the transition spectrum information of the very weak oscillator strength to the strong oscillator strength in an optical-optical double-resonance configuration.展开更多
