J. Phys. B 7, L198 (1974).

The spectrum of resonantly scattered light at right angles to a sodium atomic beam is reported. The light source was a CW dye laser tuned to resonance with a hyperfine component of the D₂ line, and incident at right angles to the atomic beam. The spectrum, with the Stark effect sidebands, was recorded as a function of both the laser intensity and its detuning from resonance. The overall resolution is better than 20 MHz.
