Abstract

In this paper, we study the collisions in the presence of a laser field from a novel point of view, considering the exchange of energy between the electromagnetic field and the atoms.

INVESTIGATION OF SIGN REVERSAL BETWEEN ELECTROMAGNETICALLY INDUCED TRANSPARENCY AND ABSORPTION IN ATOMIC VAPOR

A. N. Day

We investigate electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) in rubidium vapor using a scanning magnetic field co-aligned with the laser propagation direction.Sub-natural line width features appear at zero magnetic field.Criteria for deciding whether to expect EIT or EIA are discussed.Particular attention was given to identification and suppression of spurious signals rising from polarization impurity and residual stray magnetic fields.In the presence of a second strong, coherent laser beam we observed that the EIT signal inverts into an EIA signal.We provide a simple qualitative explanation for this "sign reversal".Our work helps us evolve a clear understanding of the intriguing physics behind coherently prepared atomic media.

EXCITATION ENERGY TRANSFER BY COLLISIONS BETWEEN EXCITED RUBIDIUM ATOMS

Jin Wang, Zhengfa Hu, Deng-Yu Zhang +2 more

This paper reports the experimental observation of the excitation energy transfer to higher states by collisions between two rubidium atoms excited to a specific state by a CW single mode laser. An obvious competition has been observed between the channel of transition to the ground state by spontaneous emission, and that to higher excited states by collisions of two excited atoms. Formation rates of the high excited states with different laser power, atomic vapor temperature and laser detuning have been measured. A proposed mechanism well explained the experimental result.

LASER COOLING OF AN ATOMIC BEAM WITH HIGH EFFICIENCY

Hen H

In this paper, we calculate the radiation force on a two-level atom, whose levels are modulated by two far off resonance travelling wave fields, interacting with a near resonance travelling wave field. The results show that with appropriate conditions, the force can be much larger than spontaneous radiation force and then can be used in laser cooling with high efficiency.
