4He optical pumping with intensity modulated laser light
نویسندگان
چکیده
4He (2 3Si) metastable atoms are optically pumped with intensity modulated light The use of a single mode diode-pumped LNA laser as the pumping source, allows the study of resonance signals predicted'by the optical pumping theory but not yet observed Resonances are detected on the transmitted pumping beam at the modulation frequency and its harmonics Application of this method to high sensitivity magnetometers is suggested

4He Optical Pumping with Frequency Modulated Light
Recently a distributed Bragg reflection (DBR) laser diode was commercialised by SDL (USA) for helium optical pumping experiments. An interesting feature of the new device is the possibility of frequency modulation of the diode output by modulating the current intensity, leading to a new pumping scheme called optical pumping with frequency modulated light. We develop this method to induce spin p...

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 کاملEnhanced Modulation and Noise Characteristics in 1.55 µm QD Lasers using Additional Optical Pumping
The modulation response, relative intensity noise (RIN) and frequency noise (FN) characteristics of quantum dot (QD) lasers are investigated theoretically in the presence of an external optical beam. Using small signal analysis of the rate equations for carriers and photons, it is demonstrated that by injecting excess carriers into the QDs excited state through optical pumping, the modulation r...
متن کاملThe Modulated Absorption of Light in an Optical Pumping Experiment in 4He
Optical pumpmg experiments have been performed on helium 4 atoms in the metastable level 2 with the object of studying the modulation of light in absorption in the longitudinal and transverse beams. Magnetic resonance curves were obtained similar to those found, in emission in double-resonance experiments. With a part~cular geometrical arrangement employing circular polarizers, the Bloch magneb...
