By means of the recursive perturbation method developed by Hioe and Eberly, we present an analytic expression of general fourth-order effects in the frequency shifts of new coherence resonances and multiphoton transitions for the general case that a spin-1/2 atom interacts with an oscillating rf field in optical pumping. Moreover, the validity of the theoretical results is checked by an optical-rf double resonance experiments with cesium vapor, and agreement between observed and calculated results becomes close.
