Abstract

Computer simulations carried out using the developed method permit us to reveal new effects, such as the increasing of angle of rotation of plane of polarization of the probe field in the presence of magnetic field and linearly polarized pump field resonant to adjacent transition and modifications in self-rotation spectra and resonant Raman spectra in the presence of magnetic field.

Dispersion of rotation of polarization plane and circular dichroism for alkaline atoms in intense radiation fields

T. Ya. Karagodova, Anna V. Kuptsova

The method of computer simulations on nonlinear resonant magneto-optical effects developed for real multi-level atoms in the two laser fields of arbitrary intensity and external magnetic field is applied for the polarization effects of different types calculations and investigations of the dependence of the characteristics of these effects on magnetic field strength, intensities, polarizations and detunings of laser fields for alkaline atoms. The essence of the method consists in simulations and analysis of the plots of dependence of quasienergies on parameters (detunings and intensities of radiation fields, magnetic field strength), which are obtained with the help of sorting subprogram, and selection of suitable algorithms for calculations of characteristics of nonlinear resonant magneto-optical effects. One-photon and two photon resonant effects are investigated for wide range of magnetic field strength from Zeeman to Paschen Back effects. Some new features in the spectra of rotation of plane of polarization and circular dicohroizm of different types are predicted. The results show the agreement with known experiments. Such calculations of nonlinear resonant magneto-optical effects in the intense laser fields resonant to adjacent transitions and magnetic field show the opportunity of investigation the modifications of electronic structure due to intense radiation fields and strong external magnetic field in atomic gases and also may be used for the treatment of new methods of phase-polarization selection of modes of tunable lasers.

Nonlinear resonant magneto-optical effects in alkaline metal vapors in the strong bichromatic laser radiation field

T. Ya. Karagodova, Anna V. Kuptsova

In the paper there are presented the last results of computer simulations on the spectra of magneto-optical rotation (MOR) of plane of polarization for the both components of intense bichromatic laser radiation. Also the dependences of MOR on light intensity and magnetic field strength are investigated. The calculations are based on the theory and method, published earlier. The agreement of calculations for the cases investigated in the known experiments with experimental results permits to hope that new peculiarities of the MOR in alkaline vapors considered in our paper can be observed in the natural experiments.

Resonant magneto-optical rotation: new twists in an old plot

Dmitry Budker

Nonlinear in laser power, near-resonant light-atom interaction leads to a number of spectacular modifications of a well-known effect -polarization plane rotation in a magnetic field applied along the direction of light propagation.In particular, the rotation can be enhanced by up to nine orders of magnitude compared to the linear case.Faraday effect [ 1 ] is the rotation of the plane of linear light polarization by a medium in a magnetic field applied in the direction of light propagation.In 1898, Macaluso and Corbino eJ, studying absorption spectra of the alkali atoms in the presence of magnetic fields, discovered that the Faraday effect in the vicinity of resonance absorption lines also had a distinct resonant character.The essence of the Macaluso-Corbino effect can be illustrated by considering a simple case of a F= 1 ~ F'=O transition (Fig. 1 ).Linearly polarized light incident on the sample can be resolved into two counter-rotating circular components ( cr~.In the absence of a magnetic field, the M=±l sublevels are degenerate and the optical resonance

Nonlinear resonant magneto‐optical effects in alkaline metal vapors in the strong bichromatic laser radiation field

T. Ya. Karagodova, Anna V. Kuptsova

Abstract Results of computer simulations of the spectra of magneto‐optical rotation (MOR) of the polarization plane for both components of intense bichromatic laser radiation are presented. Dependences of MOR on light intensity and the external magnetic field strength have been investigated. The simulations are based on the theory and method published earlier. Our results coincide with experimental results known from literature. This suggests that new peculiarities of MOR in alkaline vapors obtained by computer simulations can be observed in the natural experiments. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2004

Calculation of resonant polarization plane rotation effects in alkaline atoms using quasi-energetic-state treatment

T. Ya. Karagodova

The calculation of quasi energies for atoms in strong resonance radiation fields and magnetic field as functions of detunings permits one to define whether or not the saturation due to the pump or probe field occurs. Where there is no saturation due to the probe field, different types of rotation of polarization plane of the probe field in alkaline atoms are calculated.
