Phys. Rev. A 54, 3335–3337 (1996)Direct measurement of diffusion coefficients of cesium 6P3/2 and 6P1/2 excited-state atoms in neon gasReceived 5 July 1995; published in the issue dated October 1996 Analysis of the relative angular response of the degenerate four-wave mixing signal in alkali-metal atoms mixed with a buffer gas allows direct determination of the excited-state diffusion coefficients. The measured diffusion coefficients D at 96 °C and 760 torr for the cesium 6P1/2 and 6P3/2 state atoms in neon gas are 0.348(4) cm2 s-1 and 0.281(8) cm2 s-1, respectively. © 1996 The American Physical Society. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
