摘要： In this work laser-spectroscopic investigations of selected electronic levels in the holmium atom are performed in the context of possible second-stage laser cooling transitions which can be considered in a magneto-optical trap. Five transitions were directly recorded by the method of laser induced fluorescence in a hollow cathode discharge. The hyperfine structure constants A and B for the upper even-parity J = 17 / 2 levels, evaluated in earlier works, were generally confirmed, and their accuracy was improved; thus the frequency differences between the hyperfine structure components, relevant for the possibility of application of the hyperfine repumping, could be determined. Investigations of the Zeeman-hyperfine structure of these spectral lines were performed in order to evaluate the Landé g J factors of the upper levels; these were reported for the first time. Semi-empirical preliminary calculations of the lifetimes of the even-parity levels in question were also carried out, allowing estimation of the expected Doppler limits for the possible narrow-band laser cooling at the respective transitions. The degree of similarity between the g J factors of the upper levels of the cooling transitions and the ground state is important for the efficiency of the sub-Doppler laser cooling in a magneto-optical trap. The results presented might facilitate the choice of the most favorable option of obtaining narrow-band laser cooling of the holmium atoms.
