Abstract

Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) resonance obtained with linearly polarized laser beam through magnetic field sweep (Hanle configuration) was investigated in 87Rb D1 line. Influence of the coherence due to high-rank polarization moment (hexadecapole moment), created in the medium, on the CPT resonance shape was calculated and experimentally detected in fluorescence. It was observed as an inverted structure at a high power of excitation. To distinguish resonances due to coherence between Zeeman sub-levels with ΔmF=2 from that with ΔmF=4, the Larmour frequency ωLmodulated by applying an a.c. magnetic field (a.c. MF). Resonance signal at frequency corresponding to 4ωL observed in a fluorescence, and after lock-in on the frequency corresponding to frequency difference between sub-levels ΔmF=4.

Shape of the coherent-population-trapping resonances and high-rank polarization moments

S. Gateva, L. Petrov, Emilia A. Alipieva +3 more

The shape of the coherent-population-trapping (CPT) resonances was investigated theoretically and experimentally at different laser powers. The CPT resonances were observed in fluorescence on the degenerate two-level system of the $({F}_{\ensuremath{\varphi}}=2\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{F}_{f}=1)$ transition of the $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ ${D}_{1}$ line by means of a Hanle effect configuration in an uncoated vacuum cell. Numerical simulations based on the density matrix formalism, which take into account the high-rank polarization moment (HRPMs) influence and the velocity distribution of the atoms, were used to calculate the shape of the nonlinear magnetic resonances. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental shapes of the CPT resonances demonstrated that the HRPMs influence the shape at all laser excitation powers, and this influence can be used to explain some peculiarities at the center of the CPT resonance shape.

Influence of a.c. magnetic field on the CPT resonance obtained on two level degenerated system in Rb

Emilia A. Alipieva, S. Gateva, Elena T. Taskova

In this communication we present an investigation of the influence of an alternative magnetic field (a.c.MF) on the Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) resonances obtained in Hanle configuration. A.c.MF applied parallel to the sweeping magnetic field creates side-bands of the CPT resonance 1. Their position in dependence on the a.c.MF frequency and amplitude were investigated. This phenomenon was studied for the cases of linear and circular polarized laser excitation. Coherent signal due to the hexadecapole momentum created was detected. At high amplitudes of the a.c.MF alignment to orientation conversion was recorded.

Magneto-optical resonance of the polarized fluorescence in a paraffin-coated87Rb vacuum cell

Elena T. Taskova, Emilia A. Alipieva, G. Todorov

In this work we investigate the magneto-optical resonance on 87Rb D1 line. In two-level degenerated system this resonance is due to the interference between the Zeeman sub-levels, created by interaction of resonance linear polarized laser beam with the atoms. The observed signal is detected by sweeping magnetic field B around its zero value. This phenomenon is also known as a Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) in Hanle-configuration. In a coated vacuum cell the fluorescence signal has a complex form, because the anti-relaxation coating preserves the created coherence, having different relaxation rates. The ground state coherence is transmitted by the laser field to the upper level; thereby polarization moments with different rank contribute to the fluorescence. The manifestation of the different polarization moments in the observed signal depends on the geometry of the experiment – direction of observation, plane of the laser polarization, polarization of the registered light. The resonances obtained in the fluorescence having different polarization are compared in order to clear up what are the contributions to the fluorescent signal from the polarization moments with different rank. The experiment is performed on the D1 87Rb line, F=2→ F=1 transition in a paraffin-coated cell. The magneto-optical resonances, detected in two orthogonal polarizations are measured. Numerical calculations with parameters, close to the experimental ones are performed by using a program, which is based on the irreducible tensor operator formalism. The results of the modelling are compared with the measured ones at different experimental conditions.

Experimental investigation of the width, amplitude and shape of the Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) resonances for magnetic field measurements by means of a Hanle effect configuration (the single frequency CPT resonances) is presented. Different resonance width narrowing effects for increasing the sensitivity of the magnetometers are discussed. Numerical simulations based on density matrix formalism, which take into account the influence of the high rank polarization moments and the velocity distribution of the atoms have been performed for analysis of the shapes of the resonances.

Power dependence of the coherent population trapping resonances at different registration

S. Gateva, Emilia A. Alipieva, Elena T. Taskova

The investigation of the coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance on the degenerate two-level system of the (Fg=2→Fe=1) transition of the 87Rb D1 line by means of Hanle effect configuration in an uncoated vacuum cell (Opt. Lett. 28, 1817, 2003), has shown that the measured in fluorescence resonance has a complex shape: a very narrow (about 1mG) resonance superimposed on a broader one (about few tens mG). In this work the narrow and wide CPT resonances are registered in fluorescence, transmitted light and Faraday rotation. The dependence of the CPT resonances structures width and amplitude are measured at different laser power densities when the registration was in fluorescence and transmission. While the narrow resonance width doesn't change in the limits of the accuracy of our measurements, the wide resonance width dependence is complex and it is different in fluorescence and transmission. The origin of the observed dependencies and the differences between CPT signals observed in fluorescence and transmission are discussed.

Coherent population trapping resonance on degenerate two-level system for magnetic field measurement

Emilia A. Alipieva, S. Gateva, Elena T. Taskova

Coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances on the degenerate two-level system of the (Fg=2→Fe=1) transition of the 87Rb D1 line were investigated in an uncoated vacuum cell by means of level-crossing type experiments-sweeping a magnetic field around zero value and using a single laser beam. The two-photon resonance manifests itself as fluorescence canceling when the system of levels is degenerate (at zero point of magnetic field). The influence of weak transverse magnetic fields on the amplitude and width of the resonance was investigated. The CPT resonances were observed with linear, circular and elliptical polarized laser light. Transverse magnetic field widens the resonances obtained by linear and circular polarization but splits the resonance created by slightly elliptically polarized laser light. The dependence of this splitting on the elliptical ratio and experimental geometry were investigated. Due to its narrow width and sensitivity to low magnetic fields (< 1 G) this resonance is very promising for small magnetic field measurement.
