Abstract
We report a first determination of Landé factors of the thallium metastable and first-excited states, using a pump-and-probe method of quantum beats in forward scattering. For excitation of the and states a Λ scheme was used. A Fourier transform produced the experimental values for and which coincide, within an error margin, with those obtained theoretically. The method appears to be useful in the case of metastable states in which the electric-dipole coupling to the ground state is extremely weak.
