The D2 line of 87Rb is the transition between the 52P3/2 and the 52S1/2 states. Its linewidth Γ is always quoted to be ∼6 MHz.
But both states have hyperfine splittings.
The transition now is between each (allowed) pair of hyperfine states: how do we calculate the linewidth of each of these transitions?
