چکیده
A light, compact optical isolator using an atomic vapor in the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime is presented. Absolute transmission spectra for experiment and theory through an isotopically pure 87Rb vapor cell show excellent agreement for fields of 0.6 T. We show π/4 rotation for a linearly polarized beam in the vicinity of the D2 line and achieve an isolation of 30 dB with a transmission >95%.

Hyperfine Paschen-Back regime realized in Rb nanocell.
A simple and efficient scheme based on a one-dimensional nanometric-thin cell filled with Rb and strong permanent ring magnets allows direct observation of the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime on the D(1) line in the 0.5-0.7 T magnetic field. Experimental results are perfectly consistent with the theory. In particular, with σ(+) laser excitation, the slopes of the B-field dependence of frequency s...
متن کاملElectromagnetically induced absorption in a nondegenerate three-level ladder system.
We investigate, theoretically and experimentally, the transmission of light through a thermal vapor of three-level ladder-type atoms, in the presence of two counterpropagating control fields. A simple theoretical model predicts the presence of electromagnetically induced absorption in this pure three-level system when the control field is resonant. Experimentally, we use (87)Rb in a large magne...
متن کاملDichroic atomic vapor laser lock with multi-gigahertz stabilization range.
A dichroic atomic vapor laser lock (DAVLL) system exploiting buffer-gas-filled millimeter-scale vapor cells is presented. This system offers similar stability as achievable with conventional DAVLL system using bulk vapor cells, but has several important advantages. In addition to its compactness, it may provide continuous stabilization in a multi-gigahertz range around the optical transition. T...
متن کاملHigh-temperature alkali vapor cells with antirelaxation surface coatings
Antirelaxation surface coatings allow long spin relaxation times in alkali-metal cells without buffer gas, enabling faster diffusion of the alkali atoms throughout the cell and giving larger signals due to narrower optical linewidths. Effective coatings were previously unavailable for operation at temperatures above 80 °C. We demonstrate that octadecyltrichlorosilane OTS can allow potassium or ...
متن کاملEffect of light Polarization on the absorption index of alkali metal vapor in optical pumping phenomenon
Recently atomic magnetometers are one of the best tools in biomagnetic measurement such as magnetic field of brain and heart. In this paper, the technology of optically pumped atomic magnetometer based on circularly polarized light absorption pumping is described. We have been investigated a new method for measuring polarization effect in an alkali vapor based on polarized light transmission. I...
