Abstract

By exploiting a narrow-linewidth dipole-laser source we measure the hyperfine structure of the

{}^{5}

S_{2}

state of

{}^{17}O

. Nuclear parameters can be calculated from the measured hyperfine structure. Recorded collision-free linewidths allow an estimate of the lifetime of levels involved in a new scheme proposed for the cooling of atomic oxygen.
