| Abstract: | Abstract The optical double-resonance spectrum for a three-level atom interacting with two monochromatic laser pulses with arbitrary temporal profiles is calculated by use of Light's perturbation theory. Unlike some earlier work, the theory is not restricted to exact resonance of the pump laser, or to pulse areas which are exact multiples of 2π. A variety of pulse profiles are investigated, and the spectra are found to depend strongly on the detuning of the pump laser. |
