Models were fit with full, no or partial fixation dependence. Results indicate the model with partial fixation dependence provided the be
Highly excited 2P levels in alkali atoms were populated using a multi-step excitation, involving a tunable dye laser. The hyperfine structure of the 9 2P level in 87Rb and the 11, 12 2P levels in 133Cs was determined with optical double resonance.
