Abstract
In an optical radio-frequency double-resonance experiment on N optical saturation resonances are observed. These resonances appear superimposed on the normal magnetic resonance spectrum. With increasing laser light intensity they change the resonance spectrum considerably. We present a model to describe the observed saturation phenomena: The resonances are attributed to the interaction of two optical photons and at least one radio-frequency photon with the molecule. The theory shows that saturation resonances appear in the population and in the coherence of the dressed-molecule levels in agreement with the experimental results.
