Dimer destruction in a Cs vapor by a laser close to atomic resonance
نویسنده
چکیده
We demonstrate efficient destruction of the dimers in a cesium vapor along the path of a Ti:Sapphire cw beam. This arises from a quasi-resonant process, assisted by collisions of Cs2 molecules with Cs(6P) excited atoms, taking place in the vicinity of both the D1 and D2 atomic transitions, the lower the density, the narrower the range of frequencies over which it occurs. 33.80.Gj, 34.20.Gj, 32.70.Jz Typeset using REVTEX

Conversion of laser-frequency noise to optical-rotation noise in cesium vapor.
We have studied the noise in the optical rotation of a linearly polarized laser beam transmitted through a spin-polarized (133)Cs vapor as a function of its frequency detuning from the optical resonance. Our measurements demonstrate the direct conversion of the laser-frequency noise into optical rotation noise by the dispersive response of the atomic vapor. We describe this noise-conversion pro...
متن کاملEnd Resonances for Atomic Clocks
We discuss advantages of the “end” resonances for the miniaturized, chip-scale atomic clocks based on alkali-vapor cells filled with high-pressure buffer gases. Compared to the commonly used 0-0 resonance clock design, these advantages include a higher signal-to-noise ratio, a narrower linewidth at high vapor densities, and a significantly reduced sensitivity to the frequency stability of the p...
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...
متن کاملPolarization-ellipse rotation by induced gyrotropy in atomic vapors.
We study theoretically and experimentally a new mechanism for the rotation of the polarization ellipse of a single laser beam propagating through an atomic vapor with a frequency tuned near an atomic resonance. The results of a theoretical treatment for the case of a J = (1/2) to J = (1/2) atomic transition show that a rotation of the polarization ellipse of the laser beam will occur as a resul...
