摘　　要：The electrodeless discharge rubidium vapor lamp plays a key role in a number of applications, such as atomic clock, atomic magnetometer, atomic optical filter and laser frequency stabilization. The electrodeless discharge Rb vapor lamp has rich spectra, including 420nm, 421nm, 565nm, 572nm, 607nm, 616nm, 728 nm, 776 nm, 780 nm, 795 nm, 1324 nm, 1344 nm, 1366 nm, 1475 nm, 1529 nm spectroscopy, etc. The 780nm transition wavelength between 5P3/2 and 5S1/2 of Rb atoms is usually used in fields of the Rb atomic clock and the Rb atomic magnetometer.With the 421.7 nm laser pumping atoms from 5S1/2 to 6P1/2, 1366.9 nm transition from 6S1/2 to 5P3/2 can be used as a clock transition of Rb four levels for an atomic active optical clock. An active optical clock is a new conception of the atomic clock and has the potential to improve the stabil- ity of the best atomic clocks by about two orders of magnitude. Another application of the elec- trodeless discharge Rb vapor lamp is the Rb Faraday anomalous-dispersion optical filter （FADOF） （e.g., 776 nm] and 1529 nm spectroscopy）, in which the electrodeless discharge Rb vapor lamp is more feasible than the one using a laser pumped Rb vapor cell in some cases, since many excited states are populated enough for aimed FADOF transition. Although the rich spectra of Rb have many applications, so far no detailed investigations or applications have been achieved in 728.0nm transition. To the best of our knowledge, the Rb 728.0 nm spectral data are currently only from the fluorescence by Beacham arc spectrum of rubidium early in 1959.The electrodeless discharge rubidium vapor lamp plays a key role in a number of applications, such as atomic clock, atomic magnetometer, atomic optical filter and laser frequency stabilization.
