It has been investigated the D1 line transitions of 39K atoms in external magnetic fields using nanocells for the cases of sigma+ and pi polarizations of laser radiation. For the first time it is demonstrated the decoupling of electronic total angular momentum J and nuclear momentum I (complete hyperfine Paschen-Back regime) in external magnetic field. For 39K the decoupling takes place at B >> 165 G. In the case of linear polarization it is shown that for B > 400 G the transmission spectrum consists of 2 groups of transitions and each group contains of one so-called "Guiding transition" (GT). The GT indicates the asymptotic value of all transitions probabilities in the group and the frequency shifts derivatives value (frequency slopes) in magnetic field.For the first time it is demonstrated the absence of cross-over resonances in the spectrum of saturated absorption. For that Rb filled micro-cell has been used with atomic vapor thickness 30-40 µm. The use of micro cell allowed the investigation of individual atomic transitions in strong external magnetic fields 30 - 6000 G ) using the saturated absorption technique. It is experimentally and theoretically manifested that at certain values of the external magnetic fields (300 - 2000 G) the probabilities of the Cs D2 line Fg=3 --> Fe=5 atomic transitions experience huge increase. These probabilities, which are forbidden at zero magnetic field, exceed the probabilities of allowed atomic transitions.

Study of Rb atomic transitions D 1,2 lines in strong magnetic field based on fluorescence spectra of sub-micron thin cell

G. Hakhumyan, Armen D. Sargsyan, Claude Leroy +2 more

The so-called "λ/2-Zeeman technique" (HLZT) for studies of individual optical transition between Zeeman sublevels of atomic hyperfine structure in an external magnetic field of B = 10 - 2500 G is presented. Particularly, implementation of HLZT allows one to realize a direct determination of frequency shift and a strong modification of an optical transition probability between Zeeman components in a B-field. The main advantages of the method compared to "λ-Zeeman technique" (LZT) is that it allows one to study weak transitions. Particularly, with the help of fluorescence on 87Rb, D2 line, Fg = 1 → Fe = 3 transitions, three "forbidden" transitions in magnetic field B are detected and studied. Also, on 87Rb D1 line, Fg = 1, mF = 0 → Fe = 1, mF = 0 "forbidden" transition is detected when B ~ 400 G. A strong modification of the probability for these "forbidden" transitions is revealed. The theoretical model well describes the observed results.
