Abstract A high-resolution two-photon spectrum of 5$S_{1/2}\to5P_{3/2}\to5D_{5/2}$ transitions in a thermal $^{85}$Rb vapor cell is presented by using an optical frequency comb and a cw laser. The fluorescence of 6$P_{3/2}\to5S_{1/2}$ spontaneous emission is detected when the cw laser frequency is scanned from the 5$S_{1/2}$ ground state to 5$P_{3/2}$ hyperfine levels and the optical frequency comb repetition rate is fixed. The hyperfine splittings ($F_{\rm f}=2$–5) of the 5$D_{5/2}$ excited state are well resolved. The dependences of fluorescence intensities on the cw laser intensity and temperature of $^{85}$Rb vapor cell are studied, respectively. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical analyses.
