Abstract

We have studied experimentally and theoretically the shapes of spectropolarimetric resonances of a linearly polarized probe wave for the transitions 1s 5-2p 2 and 1s 5-2p 4 in the neon atom in the presence of a strong counterpropagating circularly polarized wave of the same frequency. Physical processes that lead to a change in the shape of polarimetric resonances under the action of a longitudinal magnetic field have been determined.

Polarization phenomena in the transparency and adsorption effects induced by the field of counterpropagating waves

Э. Г. Сапрыкин, А. А. Черненко, Anatolii M. Shalagin

The physical processes that form the resonances of saturated absorption and magnetic scanning in the field of counterpropagating waves of an arbitrary intensity when their polarizations change are numerically simulated. The atomic transition with level moment J = 1 is used as an example to show that the anomalies in the experimental saturated absorption spectra are determined by the degree of opening of the atomic transition. In the case of magnetic scanning, the anomalies are caused by the magnetic coherence induced by the wave fields at the levels of the lower state rather than by its transfer from the excited states, as was proposed earlier.

Coherent Effects in Nonlinear Spectroscopy of Counterpropagating Waves

Э. Г. Сапрыкин, А. А. Черненко

Abstract— The physical processes of formation of the saturated absorption resonance spectrum on degenerate transitions of atoms in the method of a probe field of counterpropagating waves of arbitrary intensity are studied. It is shown that the effects of magnetic coherence of levels induced by counterpropagating wave fields can change the shape of the absorption resonance up to its complete inversion.

Coherent Resonance of Saturated Absorption in Spectroscopy of Counterpropagating Waves

А. А. Черненко, Э. Г. Сапрыкин, Anatolii M. Shalagin

Results of theoretical researches of the saturated absorption resonance shape in a method of the probing field on V-type of transitions are represented. It is shown that in case of opposite circulary polarized optical fields the resonance is shown in the form of cross, and its form strongly depends on relaxation constants of levels and it can be represented as in the form of a dip, and absorption peak. Thus the peak form has exclusively coherent character. Atomic transitions are offered, on which observation of the given effect is possible.

Shift and asymmetry of the saturated absorption resonance in the field of counterpropagating elliptically polarized waves

Denis V. Brazhnikov, А. В. Тайченачев, Anatolii M Tumaikin +3 more

The saturated absorption resonance in an atomic gas in the field of counterpropagating light waves with an arbitrary elliptical polarization is investigated. A conclusion about the peculiarities of the resonance shape is drawn from a general analysis of the symmetry of the problem. In particular, a new effect has been found: the polarization parameters of the light waves can lead to an asymmetry and shift of the resonance. These conclusions are corroborated by an approximate analytical solution for the F g = 1 → F e = 2 transition and by numerical calculations. Apart from their fundamental importance, the results obtained can have important applications in metrology (frequency and time standards).

Resonance shapes of the saturated absorption and magnetic scanning on transition with J = 1 - J = 2 in a spectroscopy of unidirectional waves

Э. Г. Сапрыкин, А. А. Черненко

Physical processes forming resonance spectra of the saturated absorption and magnetic scanning on transition with level moments J = 1-J = 2 in the field of unidirectional waves of arbitrary intensities are numerically studied. It is shown that the anomalies of nonlinear resonance spectra are determined by the character of wave polarizations and by the degree of openness of atomic transition, and the anomalies of the magnetic scanning spectra are due to the magnetic coherence of the lower state levels, and not to its transfer from the excited states, as previously thought.

New features of Doppler-free saturated-absorption resonance in field of counterpropagating waves

Denis V. Brazhnikov, А. В. Тайченачев, Anatolii M Tumaikin +7 more

The resonance of saturated absorption in counterpropagating light fields is experimentally and theoretically studied. We focus on two cases: parallel and linearly polarized waves, driving an open dipole transition and the general case of elliptically polarized waves, driving closed dipole transition. The former reveals a new Doppler-free resonance as a peak within the saturated-absorption dip. The latter case reveals a new polarization effect, causing a shift and asymmetry of the saturated-absorption resonance. The results obtained can be found useful in metrology.
