Abstract

An excited state Voigt atomic optical filter working at optical communication wavelength (1.5 μm) is realized. The filter achieves a peak transmittance of 53.5% with a double-peak structure, in which each one has a bandwidth of 600 MHz. Different from the Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter, the magnetic field of the Voigt filter is perpendicular to the propagation direction of the light, which makes permanent magnets in the filter easier to realize and makes the filter better for engineering.

Tunable rubidium excited state Voigt atomic optical filter

A tunable rubidium excited state Voigt atomic optical filter working at optical communication wavelength (1.5 μm) is realized. The filter achieves a peak transmittance of 57.6% with a double-peak structure, in which each one has a bandwidth of 600 MHz. Benefiting from the Voigt type structure, the magnetic field of the filter can be tuned from 0 to 1600 gauss, and a peak transmittance tunability of 1.6 GHz can thus be realized. Different from the excited state Faraday type filter, the pump efficiency in the Voigt filter is affected a lot by the pump polarization. Measured absorption results of the pump laser and transmittances of the signal laser both prove that the vertical linear polarization pumping is the most efficient in the Voigt filter.

Induced-Dichroism-Excited Atomic Line Filter at 1529 nm

Bin Luo, Longfei Yin, Junyu Xiong +2 more

An induced-dichroism-excited atomic line (IDEAL) filter at 1529 nm operating on the transition of87Rb 52P3/2-42D3/2 is realized. Its peak transmittance achieves 63.8% at 80 °C by a 13.4 mW/mm2laser pumping at 780 nm and the equivalent noise bandwidth is 546 MHz. Detailed experiments show that, compared with the excited-state Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter and excited-state Voigt atomic line filters which are realized by the same atomic vapor cell, operating on the same transition and under the same pumping intensity, the IDEAL filter achieves the same performance level without the magnetic field. This letter provides a new solution to ultra-narrow optical filtering at 1529 nm, and it is particularly useful in applications which require non-magnetic environments.

An atomic optical filter working at 15 μm based on internal frequency stabilized laser pumping

Longfei Yin, Bin Luo, Anhong Dang +1 more

An excited state Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter (ES-FADOF) working at the optical communication wavelength (1.5 μm) is realized. Unlike the usual ES-FADOF schemes using an external frequency stabilization, an internal frequency stabilization scheme is proposed and the working atoms inside the filter are adopted as the reference. A particular cross line of multiple transitions is used for the frequency stabilization for the pump laser and thus, a higher pump efficiency is achieved. For example, compared with previous ES-FADOF schemes, this method can increase the transmittance from 10% to 60% at 100 °C. Moreover, in this scheme, the external frequency stabilization is not necessary and the volume of the atomic filter can be reduced. This simplifies the whole structure and a compact ES-FADOF can thus be realized.

Frequency Stabilization For The Faraday Laser Operating on Rb 780 nm Transition

Zijie Liu, Xiaomin Qin, Tiantian Shi +2 more

SummaryCompared with Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter, the atom optical filter based on the Voigt effect can generate a stronger and more uniform magnetic field with a compact size of the magnet. The transmission characteristics of the Voigt anomalous dispersion optical filter (VADOF) are further investigated, and a transmission spectrum with ultra-low bandwidth immune to the cell temperature is constructed. Therefore, this optical filter has the potential to perform well in a complex environment, such as outdoor and out space. Importantly, the VADOF could be applied to a diode laser as a frequency-selective element, named "Voigt laser", contributing to better frequency stability.

Cs Faraday optical filter with a single transmission peak resonant with the atomic transition at 455 nm

Yanfei Wang, Xiaogang Zhang, Dongying Wang +3 more

We demonstrate a Cs FADOF (Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter) with a single transmission peak resonant with the 6S(1/2), F = 4 → 7P(3/2), F' = 3, 4, 5 transition at 455 nm. The filter achieves a single peak transmission of 86%. With the technique of saturated absorption spectra, we obtain the bandwidth of the single peak, which is 1.5 GHz. While most of other FADOFs operate at frequencies far from absorption, the filter we have realized can provide light exactly resonant with atomic transitions with a high transmission. We also find that, at a particular temperature, we can achieve a single transmission peak rather than many peaks far from absorption by changing the strength of magnetic field. This technique can also be applied to other alkali atoms.
