Takahisa Mitsui Takahisa Mitsui, Hidetoshi Numata, Katsumi Sakurai

Doppler-free spectroscopy of high density atomic vapor has been demonstrated using copropagating pump-probe selective reflection. The observed narrow resonance has been interpreted theoretically taking account of the saturation of the atomic vapor. Our theory predicts that the saturation effect due to optical pumping is not uniform over the Doppler-broadened transition and is prominent at zero velocity.

Velocity selective optical pumping and dark resonances in selective reflection spectroscopy

B. Gross, Nicolas Papageorgiou, Vladimir A. Sautenkov +1 more

We report an experimental investigation of selective reflection spectra using a bichromatic field with a resonant \ensuremath{\Lambda}-type coupling to the ${\mathrm{D}}_{1}$ transition of Rb vapor atoms. The reflection spectra are found to have a more complex structure than equivalent spectra in transmission experiments. This structure is traced back to the effect of wall collisions on velocity selective optical pumping and saturation processes. The spectral line shapes are well described by a theoretical model developed in the text. In addition we report the observation of dark resonances in reflection spectroscopy.
