Abstract

The depencence of the signal intensity of the 87 Rb double resonance on the pumping light which was obtained by a 87 Rb lamp and a 87 Rb filter cell was measured. It became clear that the signal intensity depended specifically on the kind and pressure of the foreign gas contained in the 87 Rb filter cell, and on its temperature. These characteristics correspond to those of the intensity difference of the two hyperfine components of the 87 Rb D 1 pumping light.

Spectral Profiles of the87Rb Pumping Light Source

This paper is concerned with experimental studies of the 87 Rb pumping light source, which is composed of a 87 Rb lamp and a 85 Rb filter cell. Spectral profiles of the pumping light were observed by means of a Fabry-Perot interferometer. Measurements were executed by using ten filter cells which contained 85 Rb atoms and various gases (N 2 , Ar and He) under various pressures. As a result, it became clear that the change of the pumping light spectrum with the filter cell temperature was specific to each cell. When we took note of the ratio and the difference of the two components of Rb D 1 line as measures of the filtering effect, the temperature dependence of these values relied on the kind and the pressure of the foreign gas.

Filtering Effect of the ^<87>Rb Cell Containing High Pressure Foreign Gas on ^<87>Rb Lamp Light

Isao MATSUDA, 近藤義一, 内武倉持 +4 more

Spectral profiles of the ^<87>Rb D_1 line (λ=794.8 nm) passed through the cell are calculated to evaluate the filtering effect. Upon the calculatio, the broadening and shift of the pronle due to high pressure foreign gas are taken into account to make the cell absorb the unwanted spectral components emitted from the lamp. Filtering effect is discussed on the ^<87>Rb cell containing a pressure of 300 to 900 Torr of N_2 or He gas.

Analysis of the effect of foreign gases in the filtering action of a ^85Rb cell

Naimu Kuramochi, Isao Matsuda, Hitohiro Fukuyo

The variation in the 87Rb D1 (λ = 794.8 nm) pumping light profiles due to 85Rb filter cell temperatures (< 80 °C) has been explained by considering both the shift and broadening of the 85Rb absorption spectrum caused by low-pressure foreign gases (< 200 Torr). The coefficients of the pressure shift and broadening by N2 gas were obtained as −8.0 ± 0.5 and 11 ± 1 MHz/Torr, respectively. The intensity ratio and difference of two peaks in the profiles were calculated in order to discuss the variation in the profiles quantitatively. The foreign gas He was examined for comparison. The absorption coefficient of Rb was also discussed.

Temperature Dependence of Hyperfine Spectrum of Rb D1Line

Hitohiro Fukuyo, Kenichi Iga, Naimu Kuramochi +1 more

This paper deals with the experimental studies of the rubidium (Rb) spectral lamp for the purpose of getting an excellent pumping light source for a Rb gas cell type frequency standard, or for a Rb microwave maser. Some of Rb lamps containing Ne, Ar, Kr, and Ne-Ar as a carrier gas were made by way of experiment. In order to observe the hyperfine spectrum of D1line, the Fabry-Perot type scanning interferometer was made, which is driven electrostrictively. The hyperfine components of D1line were resolved successfully. It was observed that the line which is used as a pumping source became intense as the lamp temperature was raised, and it began to be dipped and decrease, however, over the definite temperature. Also observed was that this optimum temperature differs from the temperature at which the integrated intensity of D1line shows a maximum.

Measurement of the characteristics of the optical-microwave double-resonance effect of the /sup 87/Rb D/sub 1/ line for application as an atomic frequency standard

I Matsuda, S. Yamaguchi, Masao Suzuki

The OMDR (optical-microwave double resonance) spectrum of /sup 87/Rb with the aim of using a frequency-stabilized GaAs semiconductor laser instead of an Rb lamp as a pumping source in a gas-cell-type Rb frequency standard. Natural isotope /sup 87/Rb was sealed in a glass cell with buffer gases (Ar/N/sub 2/=1.2, total pressure=39 torr). The double resonance signal in the 5P/sub 1/2/(F=2) from 5S/sub 1/2/(F=1) transition appearing at the resonance to the F=2 from 1 hyperfine transition of the 5S/sub 1/2/ state was detected. The optimum operational cell temperature was 56 degrees C. The peak-to-peak frequency width of the atomic hyperfine resonance discriminator used to stabilize the microwave frequency shifts induced by detuning of the laser frequency, changes in the laser and microwave powers, and temperature drift of the cell were investigated.>
