Blue fluorescence as a frequency offset reference in the rubidium 5S-5P-5D transition

Pijush Kanti Mandal, Vaishali Naik, Vas Dev +2 more

In this work, we address the issue of the suitability of blue fluorescent light as a frequency offset reference during the ladder-level excitation 5S1/2→5P3/2→5D3/2 of Rb85 atoms. A simple pump–probe spectroscopy experiment is performed to generate non-degenerate blue light emission produced by the spontaneous decay route 5D3/2→6P3/2→5S1/2. By varying the relative intensity of the pump–probe combination, we can hover between regimes dominated by mechanisms such as double resonance optical pumping (DROP) and Autler–Townes splitting. The efficacy of the blue fluorescence (420 nm) as a frequency offset reference is pronounced under the DROP regime due to its narrow (∼natural) linewidth. To provide further insight into the stability performance, the pump laser connecting the 5P3/2→5D3/2 transition is stabilized to the peak of the blue light with the help of a probe stabilized to the saturation absorption signal of the 5S1/2→5P3/2 transition. For this purpose, we used the coherence-induced modulation transfer technique. The error frequency noise power spectra and the subsequent Allan variance calculation clearly show that probe fluctuations are transferred to the pump laser because of an existing two-photon coherent coupling.

Field dependence of Autler-Townes splitting in pump/probe setup

Xingqiang Lu, Wei Guo, Xinlin Wang +1 more

We theoretically investigate the Autler-Townes (AT) splitting in the photoelectron spectra of threelevel ladder K 2 molecule driven by a pump-probe pulse via employing the time-dependent wave packet approach. The effect of the pump/probe laser intensity and wavelength on AT splitting is detailed studied. The magnitude of AT splitting increases with increasing the pump laser intensity, but does not vary with probe intensity. The double splitting with asymmetric profiles arises due to the nonresonant excitation. The double structure is transformed into one peak progressively as the pump is detuned from the resonance wavelength, which can be explained in terms of the asymmetric excitation/population of dressed states. The splitting between AT doublet changes with pump wavelength, but does not change with probe wavelength. The double peaks shift to lower energy with the different shift with increasing pump wavelength, but with the same shift with probe wavelength.

Effect of pump-1 laser on Autler Townes splitting in photoelectron spectrum of K2 molecule

郭玮, 路兴强, 王新林 +1 more

We theoretically investigate the Autler–Townes(AT)splitting in the photoelectron spectrum of four-level ladder K2molecule driven by a pump 1-pump 2-probe pulse via employing the time-dependent wave packet approach.The effects of the pump-1 laser intensity and wavelength on AT splitting are studied for the first time.The magnitude of AT splitting increases with increasing the pump-1 laser intensity.The triple splitting with asymmetric profile occurs due to the nonresonant excitation.The triple structure is transformed into a double structure(near-resonant region),and then becomes a peak(far-off resonant region)progressively as the pump-1 laser is detuned from the resonance wavelength,which can be explained in terms of the asymmetric excitation/population of dressed states.The splitting between adjacent peaks and the splitting between the two sideband peaks in the triplet do not change with the pump-1 pulse wavelength.The three peaks shift toward lower energy with the same shift 1/4*△1 as the pump-1 wavelength changes in near-resonant region.The asymptotic behaviors of AT splitting with the pump-1 laser intensity are interesting in the threshold points of the near-resonant region and the far-off resonant region.
