We can measure the energy levels of the atom by exciting the electrons with a laser at the appropriate wavelength for each energy level, which is known as spectroscopy \cite{Zapka_1983}. A laser is sent through a cell of the element we are trying to do spectroscopy on (in this case rubidium) and the transmission of the laser is measured with a photodiode. The photodiode has a response due to incident light, known as Responsivity. The photodiode produces a current given a certain amount of incident light. That current then gets converted to a voltage. For the Doppler spectroscopy we used a SRS amplifier to convert the current to a voltage. While not ideal, this was the equipment we had at the time. For the subDoppler spectroscopy, which uses far less power in the transmission beam, the oscilloscope, which has an input impedance of $1 M\Omega$, was suitable to convert the current to voltage. This input impedance was too large for the Doppler spectroscopy experiment.   If we had a cell at zero temperature, and the rubidium was still a gas, as the frequency of the laser is scanned,the transmission through the vapor cell would produce Lorentzian dip. Off resonance the transmission should be $100$. As the laser frequency passes through the resonance, the laser transmission drops. The resulting Lorentzian shaped dip is a direct result of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The inverse of the full width half maximum of the Lorentzian profile (in angular frequency space) is the average lifetime of the excited state. As the temperature increases from zero kelvin, the peak will broaden about this central frequency. Doppler broadening, described below, is actually a convolution between the zero temperature Lorentzian profile and the Maxwell Boltzmann Gaussian shaped velocity profile. In the Doppler spectroscopy experiment, we fit to a Guassian profile because there are six different Lorenztian shaped profiles that are simultaneously Doppler Broadened. The resultant complicated Voight profile is extremely difficult to fit. We therefore expect the fitted temperature to be larger than room temperature since we ignore this convolution. This is what we find, see section _______. .
