In our experiments, optical transitions within the cesium D1 line are involved and a probe beam transmission is analyzed. The first spectroscopy method is based on the configuration with two-frequency counter propagating beams, which are linearly polarized in orthogonal directions. This configuration provides observation of high-contrast natural-linewidth resonances superimposed on broad Doppler profiles when the laser frequency is scanned. These resonances have good prospects for developing a miniature optical frequency reference. The second scheme involves two-frequency counter propagating beams with equal circular polarizations and provides observation of subnatural-linewidth resonances when the Raman frequency detuning is scanned. We use these resonances for stabilizing the microwave frequency of a local oscillator (...

The configuration includes a pump and a probe beam propagating in opposite directions and having mutually orthogonal linear polarizations; the probe beam absorption is registered depending on the value of a magnetic field scanned around zero and applied collinearly to the laser beams. The advantages of this scheme have been recently evidenced in vapor cells filled with a buffer gas. In the present work we studied the width and the contrast of the EIA resonances obtained in a coated cell for different values of the pump power. The results are compared with those obtained in a buffer gas cell for the same transition of 87Rb. The theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experiment.

Research paper thumbnail of Nonlinear Magnetooptical Resonance in 87Rb Vapor: The Influence of Stray Magnetic Fields and Excitation Radiation Intensity on the Basic Characteristics of the Effect in Cells with Antirelaxation Coating

Optics and Spectroscopy, 2019

The shape, amplitude, and sign of observed resonances and their dependence on the excitation parameters and observation geometry were investigated theoretically and experimentally in many studies because of the wide range of application of this effect. The sensitivity of Hanle resonances to the experimental conditions increases significantly in cells with antirelaxation coating, because the atomic ensemble retains its coherence after a large number of collisions with the cell walls. In this paper, the main attention is paid to the joint influence of the excitation radiation intensity and spurious magnetic fields on CPT resonances observed in fluorescence. The theoretical description is based on the numerical solution of an algebraic system of equations for density matrix in the formalism of irreducible tensor operators. The parameters relating different polarization moments in each equation are visualized using the modified sparse matrix of the system. It is established by numerical simulation that the shape, width, amplitude, and sign of nonlinear magnetooptical resonances change nonmonotonically with a change in the parameters of the excitation radiation and atomic system. The presented theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data obtained under various conditions.

In the case of single-frequency, near resonance excitation and suitable geometry the well-known ground state Hanle effect is observed. Coherent population trapping in Hanle configuration is a nonlinear modification of this effect, observed in the fluorescence from the upper level. The ground state coherence is transmitted from the laser field and higher rank polarization moments are created. Using the irreducible tensor operator formalism programs for numerical modelling of this effect has been developed and presented here. The velocity distribution of the atoms, the Gaussian distribution of the laser beam, stray magnetic field, and the experimental geometry are taken into account. The scheme of conversion of the octupole (κ = 3) and hexadecapole (κ = 4) polarization moments (PM) through the laser and magnetic fields into the upper level quadropoles f 2 q is proposed. The conversion of the high-rank polarization moments (PM) into observable components is also discussed. The results of the modelling are compared with the measured ones at different experimental conditions.

Good coincidence with theoretical results is obtained. It is shown that the Brewster effect in deep gratings is suppressed with a decrease of wavelength, as the angle of incidence approaches zero. At the same time the groove-depth interval widens, and low values of reflectivity are observed.

A.c.MF applied parallel to the sweeping magnetic field creates side-bands of the CPT resonance 1. Their position in dependence on the a.c.MF frequency and amplitude were investigated. This phenomenon was studied for the cases of linear and circular polarized laser excitation. Coherent signal due to the hexadecapole momentum created was detected. At high amplitudes of the a.c.MF alignment to orientation conversion was recorded.

The optical reflectance is affected by the change of free charge carrier density due to periodic photothermal modulation described by Drude effect. A dual wavelength setup of a pulsed heating laser and a probe CW laser, whereas the laser focal spots are precisely aligned on the scanned sample surface, provides electrical signal proportional to the variation of optical reflectance at each measurement point. The probe beam is modulated selectively by reflection without interference by the substrate properties or external fields. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that MOR signal is proportional to the thermal derivative of magnetoresistance. The described contactless measurement may find important application in investigation of a range of new magnetoelectric devices.
