Depolarization of the near-resonant light scattered by atomic sodium

Hiro‐o Hamaguchi, Masao Kakimoto, A. David Buckingham

The sodium atom in its ground 2S state possesses antisymmetric components of the scattering tensor that lead to depolarization of the light scattered at very low densities. Depolarized scattering has been observed in the vicinity of the D1 and D2 resonance lines by using a dye laser. The depolarization ratio ρ is approximately unity near the D1 line, as predicted by Placzek. Near the D2 line, ρ is somewhat-larger than the theoretical 0.25.

Observation of the resonant Stark effect at optical frequencies

Felix Schuda, Carlos R. Stroud, Michael Hercher

The spectrum of resonantly scattered light at right angles to a sodium atomic beam is reported. The light source was a CW dye laser tuned to resonance with a hyperfine component of the D 2 line, and incident at right angles to the atomic beam. The spectrum, with the Stark effect sidebands, was recorded as a function of both the laser intensity and its detuning from resonance. The overall resolution is better than 20 MHz.
