Observation of a narrow inner-shell orbital transition in atomic erbium at 1299 nm

We report on the observation and coherent excitation of atoms on the narrow inner-shell orbital transition, connecting the erbium ground state [Xe]4f^{12}(^{3}H_{6})6s^{2} to the excited state [Xe]4f^{11}((^{4}I_{15/2})^{0})5d(^{5}D_{3/2})6s^{2}(15/2,3/2)_{7}^{0}. This transition corresponds to a wa...
