Abstract
We describe a method allowing the extension of Doppler-free spectroscopy to the selection of more than one velocity component of atoms in a gas. This method has been demonstrated experimentally with metastable neon atoms, in a geometry where two velocity components are determined, and transitions in atoms with zero velocity in a plane have been observed.Keywords
