Abstract

Coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances on degenerate two-level system of D/sub 1/ line of /sup 87/Rb were investigated with single-frequency laser excitation in Hanle configuration. Their sensitivity to stray magnetic fields was examined for linear, elliptical, and circular laser polarization. A methodology for magnetic field (MF) measurement using the CPT resonance is proposed. The sensitivity of the system to weak magnetic fields was evaluated and a magnetic field of 3 nT was unambiguously detected.

Coherent population trapping resonance on degenerate two-level system for magnetic field measurement

Emilia A. Alipieva, S. Gateva, Elena T. Taskova

Coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances on the degenerate two-level system of the (Fg=2→Fe=1) transition of the 87Rb D1 line were investigated in an uncoated vacuum cell by means of level-crossing type experiments-sweeping a magnetic field around zero value and using a single laser beam. The two-photon resonance manifests itself as fluorescence canceling when the system of levels is degenerate (at zero point of magnetic field). The influence of weak transverse magnetic fields on the amplitude and width of the resonance was investigated. The CPT resonances were observed with linear, circular and elliptical polarized laser light. Transverse magnetic field widens the resonances obtained by linear and circular polarization but splits the resonance created by slightly elliptically polarized laser light. The dependence of this splitting on the elliptical ratio and experimental geometry were investigated. Due to its narrow width and sensitivity to low magnetic fields (< 1 G) this resonance is very promising for small magnetic field measurement.

Influence of a.c. magnetic field on the CPT resonance obtained on two level degenerated system in Rb

Emilia A. Alipieva, S. Gateva, Elena T. Taskova

In this communication we present an investigation of the influence of an alternative magnetic field (a.c.MF) on the Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) resonances obtained in Hanle configuration. A.c.MF applied parallel to the sweeping magnetic field creates side-bands of the CPT resonance 1. Their position in dependence on the a.c.MF frequency and amplitude were investigated. This phenomenon was studied for the cases of linear and circular polarized laser excitation. Coherent signal due to the hexadecapole momentum created was detected. At high amplitudes of the a.c.MF alignment to orientation conversion was recorded.

Polarization-dependent sensitivity of level-crossing, coherent-population-trapping resonances to stray magnetic fields

Arno Huss, Roland Lammegger, Laurentius Windholz +5 more

Coherent-population-trapping resonances within the degenerate two-level system of the F=2-->F′=1 transition of the 87Rb D1 line were investigated in an uncoated Rb vapor cell by means of level-crossing-type experiments. Tuning over the two-photon resonance is achieved sweeping a magnetic field around zero value. The influence of transverse magnetic fields on the amplitude and the width of the resonances, recorded in fluorescence and absorption, were investigated in the cases of excitation with linear, circular, and elliptical laser light polarization. A theoretical analysis was performed for the case of linearly polarized excitation, the results of which are in good agreement with the experiment.

Manifestation of high-rank polarization moments in the fluorescence CPT resonance

Emilia A. Alipieva, Elena T. Taskova, S. Gateva +1 more

Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) resonance obtained with linearly polarized laser beam through magnetic field sweep (Hanle configuration) was investigated in 87Rb D1 line. Influence of the coherence due to high-rank polarization moment (hexadecapole moment), created in the medium, on the CPT resonance shape was calculated and experimentally detected in fluorescence. It was observed as an inverted structure at a high power of excitation. To distinguish resonances due to coherence between Zeeman sub-levels with ΔmF=2 from that with ΔmF=4, the Larmour frequency ωLmodulated by applying an a.c. magnetic field (a.c. MF). Resonance signal at frequency corresponding to 4ωL observed in a fluorescence, and after lock-in on the frequency corresponding to frequency difference between sub-levels ΔmF=4.

Magnetic field influence on coherent resonance in a degenerate two-level system

Coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances in the degenerate two-level system of the Fg = 2 → Fe = 1) transition of the 87Rb D1 line were investigated in an uncoated vacuum cell by means of Hanle effect configuration. CPT signals with complex shape (narrow resonance approximately 2 mG superimposed on the wide one approximately 150 mG) were observed. The influence of weak transverse magnetic fields (0-1.2 G) on the amplitude and width of the two components was measured. The observed narrow resonances are interesting for application in high resolution spectroscopy and magnetometry.
