Abstract

In this paper we consider the theory of coherent population trapping resonance formation in cell with anti-relaxation wall coating illuminated by the narrow laser beam. We study the dependence of resonance amplitude and width on radiation intensity and illuminated zone diameter.

Narrowing of the coherent population trapping resonance under zone pumping in cells with different characteristics of the wall coating

Georgy A. Kazakov, A N Litvinov, Boris G. Matisov

It is shown that when coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance is excited by a narrow laser beam, the presence of elastic collisions with the cell wall significantly affects the line shape of the CPT-resonance. We have constructed a theoretical model, which is based on averaging over the random Ramsey sequences of the atom dwell time in the beam and dark zones and takes into account the probability of elastic bounce of an atom from the wall.

Ramsey effect of coherent population trapping in anti-relaxation-coated Rb vapor cells

Hyun Joon Lee, Han Seb Moon

We examine experimentally and theoretically the Ramsey effects on the coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance in a paraffin-coated Rb vapor cell. The observed CPT spectrum in the Hanle configuration of the 5S 1/2(F = 2)−5P 1/2(F′ = 1) transition of 87Rb atoms consists of a narrow structure with a spectral width of 0.10 mG due to the wall-induced Ramsey effect and a broad structure with a spectral width of 23 mG due to the transit effect. Considering the velocity distribution of atoms and the number of wall-atom collisions, we numerically calculated the transmittance of the laser beam as a function of the longitudinal magnetic field. The experimental results of the CPT Ramsey interference were in good agreement with the theoretical results, and the dependences of the CPT Ramsey effects on the atom-laser interaction time were investigated in detail.

Coherent population trapping (Electromagnetically induced transparency) resonance in cells of finite sizes

The formation of the coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance in cells of finite sizes without a buffer gas is studied. It is found that, depending on the laser spectrum width, different CPT resonance narrowing mechanisms take place; these are the Dicke effect and the light-induced narrowing effect. Under light-induced narrowing conditions, the CPT resonance parameters are found to weakly depend on the cell size and the type of wall coating.

Influence of the atomic-wall collision elasticity on the coherent population trapping resonance shape

We studied theoretically a coherent population trapping resonance formation in cylindrical cell without buffer gas irradiated by a narrow laser beam. We take into account non-zero probabilities of elastic ("specular") and inelastic ("sticking") collision between the atom and the cell wall. We have developed a theoretical model based on averaging over the random Ramsey pulse sequences of times that atom spent in and out of the beam. It is shown that the shape of coherent population trapping resonance line depends on the probability of elastic collision.

Spectrum and Light Shift of the Coherent Population Trapping Resonance in Cells with Antirelaxation Wall Coating in Specular and Diffuse Reflection Models

К. А. Баранцев, Г. В. Волошин, A. S. Kuraptsev +2 more

We consider the motion of atoms in a cell free of a buffer gas with an antirelaxation wall coating on the spectrum and shift of the coherent population trapping resonance. We compare two types of reflection of atoms, viz., elastic (specular) and diffuse reflection, when the velocity of an atom after its reflection is determined by the wall temperature, as well by the quality of the antirelaxation wall coating. It is shown that for both types of reflection, a nonmonotonic dependence of the coherent population trapping resonance shift on the cell size is observed. In the case of diffuse reflection, the shift can change sign, and a complex two-hump structure of the coherent population trapping resonance is observed in a certain range of cell lengths. The dependence of the detected effects on the laser radiation spectral width is analyzed.
