a, The complete dataset, scaled as described in the text. The simulated curve (not a fit, drawn for qualitative comparison only) is for a stored cavity power of 1 W and is scaled to the data at zero detuning. ‘Appearance’ refers to annihilations that are detected during laser irradiation; ‘disappearance’ refers to atoms that are apparently missing from the surviving sample. The error bars are 1-s.d. counting uncertainties. b, Three simulated line shapes (for hydrogen) are depicted for different cavity powers to illustrate the effect of power on the size and the frequency at the peak. The width of the simulated line (FWHM) as a function of laser power is plotted in the inset.
