An atomic beam oven of a discharge type is constructed and the performance in populating a metastable state of Yb I is examined. The relative populations of the ground state 4f146s21S0 and the metastable state 4f135d6s2 (7/2, 3/2)5 of Yb I are measured for the first time by the laser-induced fluorescence method. It is found that the population of the metastable state increases with the discharge current and that of the ground state decreases to 30%. The method is also applicable for other elements.
