Observation of Stimulated Level Shifting in Inverted Atomic Thallium Populations

D. J. Ehrlich, Richard M. Osgood, A. Sanchez

Published Mar 31, 1980• 6 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Level shifting has been observed in a two-level, two-isotope atomic system which is undergoing stimulated emission. The optical fields which produce the level shifts are generated by the same stimulated process.

Intensity dependence of the self-induced dynamic Stark shifting in a thallium laser

P. -D. Henchoz, W. Lüthy, R. Schmiele

New measurements of time-integrated and time-resolved spectra of the 535-nm laser emission in photo-dissociated thallium iodide are presented. The initial frequency differences in the emission spectra of the two natural thallium isotopes produce a self-induced dynamic Stark splitting of the resonance lines. It is shown that at high intensities the Stark splitting saturates. This saturation is explained by the reduction of the lifetime of the excited thallium atoms by stimulated emission.

Optical Forces from Periodic Adiabatic Rapid Passage Sequences on Metastable Helium Atoms

Daniel T. Stack

Over the past 30 years, optical manipulation of neutral atoms has been primarily performed with a monochromatic laser beam. The simplest tool for the control of atomic motion is the radiative force exerted by a monochromatic laser on a twolevel atom. The radiative force arises from absorption followed by spontaneous emission, and its magnitude is limited by the atom's excited state lifetime. The coherent momentum exchanges between light elds and atoms can be exploited to produce long-range optical forces much greater than the radiative force through the use of absorption-stimulated emission processes. Adiabatic Rapid Passage (ARP) is a long-existing method to invert the population of a two-level nuclear spin system. Its extension to the optical domain necessitates a frequency chirped light pulse to interact with a two-level atom via the dipole interaction. I will first present a numerical study of the properties of optical forces on moving atoms derived from purely stimulated processes produced by multiple ARP sequences. This will be followed by experimental observations of long-range ARP forces much larger than the radiative force in metastable helium. Sequences of properly timed laser pulses may be used for rapid deceleration of neutral atomic (or molecular) beams. | 171 pages

Early stimulated emission amplification by an inverted nuclear spin population and the H-maser

Norman F. Ramsey

Two different topics are discussed: (1) early (1950) stimulated emission amplification observed with a pure LiF crystal having an inverted population of the nuclear spin system and (2) the atomic H-maser.
