Nonlinear radiation imprisonment in magneto-optical vapor traps

Nikolai N. Bezuglov, A. F. Molisch, F. Fuso +2 more

We analyze nonlinear radiation imprisonment (RI) effects in an optically thick vapor in different temperature regimes. An analytical approach is proposed to treat nonlinear decay problems. Special attention is paid to vapor samples having curvilinear geometries (cylinder, sphere) and being excited by a strong laser pulse. We derive a number of new formulas for different radiative trapping factors as functions of opacity and propose a general approach for RI evaluation allowing us to deal with samples both at room and low, or very low, temperatures, such as those customarily achieved in magneto-optical trap (MOT) experiments. As a result, we predict a ``subnatural'' decay of radiation escaping from cold vapors, which can be envisioned as the basis for a sensitive and reliable MOT diagnostic tool.

Induced autoionization-like resonances in nonlinear third- and fifth-order susceptibilities of sodium vapor

Stefan Dimov, Lubomir I. Pavlov, Yu. I. Geller +1 more

A study was made of the influence of autoionization-like resonances in the continuum, induced by strong optical radiation, on the nonlinear susceptibilities governing third harmonic generation and the optical activity of sodium vapor. It was demonstrated experimentally for the first time that it should be possible to study high-lying states of atoms and molecules by the method of nonlinear polarization spectroscopy of the fifth-order optical nonlinearity. The experimental results were compared with the theory. An analysis was made of the feasibility of using this effect for spectroscopy of the states in the continuum and for generation of short-wavelength radiation in gaseous media.
