Effect of selective saturated absorption on atomic line filter

Shuangqiang Liu, Weimin Sun

We report an atomic filter based on optical pumping induced anisotropy in Doppler-broadened two-level atoms. Atomic line filters (ALF) in previous research used a selective pump to populate atoms on special Zeeman sub-levels to obtain optical anisotropy because of dipole selection rules. Unlike them, we proposed a novel method to get circular anisotropy realized by selectively saturated absorption in rubidium.

Narrowband tunable filter based on velocity-selective optical pumping in an atomic vapor

Alessandro Ceré, Valentina Parigi, Marta Abad +3 more

We demonstrate a tunable narrowband filter based on optical-pumping-induced circular dichroism in rubidium vapor. The filter achieves a peak transmission of 14.6%, a linewidth of 80 MHz, and an out-of-band extinction of >or=35 dB. The transmission peak can be tuned within the range of the Doppler linewidth of the D1 line of atomic rubidium at 795 nm. While other atomic filters work at frequencies far from absorption, the presented technique provides light resonant with atomic media, useful for atom-photon interaction experiments. The technique could readily be extended to other alkali atoms.

Theoretical model for an atomic optical filter based on optical anisotropy

Zhusong He, Yundong Zhang, Hao Wu +2 more

We develop a three-level theoretical model for atomic optical filters based on optical anisotropy induced by the circularly polarized pump field. Calculative results are in good agreement with experimental results reported previously [Opt. Lett27, 500 (2002)]. The filtering characteristics such as the functions of pump intensity, pump detuning, and cell temperature are studied, respectively. The theoretical analysis presented here is expected to be useful in investigating atomic optical filters and polarization spectroscopy.
