Modulation transfer spectroscopy in atomic rubidium
We report modulation transfer spectroscopy on the D2 transitions in 85Rb and 87Rb using a simple home-built electro-optic modulator (EOM). We show that both the gradient and amplitude of modulation transfer spectroscopy signals, for the 87Rb F = 2 → F ′ = 3 and the 85Rb F = 3 → F ′ = 4 transitions, can be significantly enhanced by expanding the beams, improving the signals for laser frequency s...
متن کاملAtomic Hyperfine Splitting in Rubidium
In its ground state, rubidium (Rb) has a single 5s electron outside a closed shell; the principal structure of its excited states is therefore similar to that of hydrogen. The first excited state is split in two by the spin-orbit interaction, and each of these levels is split further by the hyperfine interaction. Neglecting relativistic and reduced-mass effects, the Hamiltonian consists of four...
متن کاملDouble-resonance spectroscopy in Rubidium vapour-cells for high performance and miniature atomic clocks
We report our studies on using microwave-optical double-resonance (DR) spectroscopy for a high-performance Rb vapour-cell atomic clock in view of future industrial applications. The clock physics package is very compact with a total volume of only 0.8 dm. It contains a recently in-house developed magnetron-type cavity and a Rb vapour cell. A homedmade frequency-stabilized laser system with an i...
متن کاملTwo - color modulation transfer spectroscopy 1
We present two-color modulation transfer spectroscopy as a tool for precision studies of atomic properties of excited states. The bi-colored technique addresses a narrow set of velocity groups of a thermal atomic vapour using a two-step transition to “burn a hole” in the velocity distribution. The resulting spectrum presents sub-Doppler linewidths, good signal-to-noise ratio and the trademark s...
متن کاملInterferometric Laser Cooling of Atomic Rubidium.
We report the 1D cooling of ^{85}Rb atoms using a velocity-dependent optical force based upon Ramsey matter-wave interferometry. Using stimulated Raman transitions between ground hyperfine states, 12 cycles of the interferometer sequence cool a freely moving atom cloud from 21 to 3 μK. This pulsed analog of continuous-wave Doppler cooling is effective at temperatures down to the recoil limit; w...
