Abstract

The prospects of using Fg = 1-Fe = 3 magnetically induced (MI) transitions of the 87Rb D2 line to form optical resonances in strong magnetic fields up to 3 kG have been experimentally demonstrated. A micrometer-thick cell filled with the Rb atomic vapor is used. A simple and convenient method for determining the magnetic induction with a micron spatial resolution is presented. In this case, there is no need for a reference frequency spectrum. The probability of the MI transition in the magnetic field range of 0.3–2 kG may exceed the probability of a “normal” atomic transition; therefore, it is reasonable to use MI transition at the frequency of “coupling” or probe lasers in Lambda- and V systems to form EIT- resonance (also called dark resonance) in the process of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The formation of dark resonances in strong magnetic fields, when there is a frequency shift of the dark resonance up to ~ 10 GHz, has a number of practical applications. Note that when using “ordinary” atomic transitions in the Lambda- system for magnetic fields of > 1 kG, dark resonances are practically absent.

Application of Magnetically Induced Transitions of 87Rb Atoms in Coherent Optical Processes

Armen D. Sargsyan, T. A. Vartanyan, David G. Sarkisyan

Abstract We experimentally demonstrated that magnetically induced (MI) Fg = 1 → Fe = 3 transitions of the D2-line of 87Rb are promising for the generation of optical resonances in strong magnetic fields of up to 3 kG. A cell of micron-scale thickness filled with Rb vapors was used. A simple and convenient method of determining magnetic induction that exhibits micron-scale spatial resolution is described. In the process, it becomes unnecessary using a reference spectrum. The probability of an MI transition in the interval of magnetic fields from 0.3 to 2 kG can exceed the probability of an ordinary atomic transition, which makes using it as a coupling or probe transition in Λ- or V-systems advantageous for formation of dark resonances in processes of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). Dark resonances shifted in strong magnetic fields by as much as 10 GHz may find a number of practical applications. Note that dark resonances are nearly absent in Λ-systems based on ordinary atomic transitions in magnetic fields exceeding 1 kG.

Application of Magnetically Induced Transitions of the 85Rb D2 Line in Coherent Processes

Armen D. Sargsyan, A. Tonoyan, David G. Sarkisyan

Abstract Magnetically induced Fg = 2 → Fe = 4 transitions corresponding to the 85Rb D2 line in the case of the σ+ circularly polarized radiation have been used for the first time to form optical dark resonances in strong magnetic fields up to 1 kG under electromagnetically induced transparency conditions. A 1.5-μm-thick cell filled with Rb atomic vapor has been used. The probabilities of two of five magnetically induced transitions, which are efficiently formed only with the σ+-polarized radiation, in the magnetic field range of 0.2–1 kG exceed the probabilities of “ordinary” atomic transitions. For this reason, it is appropriate to use them in Λ systems for the formation of the dark resonance. The following rule has been established: for the formation of the dark resonance in a Λ system with the use of the σ+-polarized probe radiation at the frequencies of magnetically induced transitions, the radiation of the coupling laser should also be σ+ polarized; the dark resonance is not formed if the radiation of the coupling laser is σ– polarized, which is confirmed by the calculated theoretical curve. A significant advantage of magnetically induced resonances for electromagnetically induced transparency compared to ordinary atomic transitions corresponding to the 85Rb D2 line has been demonstrated. The formation of dark resonances in strong magnetic fields, when their frequency is shifted by several gigahertzs, can be applied in practice.

Abstract Magnetically induced (MI) transitions Fg = 1 → Fe = 3 of 87Rb D2 line are among the most promising atomic transitions for applications in laser physics. They reach their maximum intensity in the 0.2–2 kG magnetic field range and are more intense than many conventional atomic transitions. An important feature of MI transitions is their large frequency shift with respect to the unperturbed hyperfine transitions which reaches ~12 GHz in magnetic fields of ~3 kG, while they are formed on the high-frequency wing of the spectrum and do not overlap with other transitions. Some important peculiarities have been demonstrated for the MI 5S1/2 → 5P3/2 transitions (λ = 780 nm). Particularly, it was shown that using a nanocell with thickness L = 100 nm it is possible to realize 1 μm-spatial resolution which is important when determining magnetic fields with strong spatial gradient (of >3G/μm). Earlier, our studies have been performed for 5S1/2 → nP3/2 transition with n = 5, while it is also theoretically shown to be promising for the transitions with n = 6, 7, 8 and 9, corresponding to the transition wavelengths of 420.2, 358.7, 334.9 and 322.8 nm, respectively.

A study of dark resonance splitting for the D 1 line of 87Rb in strong magnetic fields

Armen D. Sargsyan, R. Mirzoyan, David G. Sarkisyan

The process of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is studied using an extremely thin cell with thickness of a vapor column of rubidium atoms L = 794 nm. Wavelengths of resonant laser beams λ ≈ 794 nm. Results of the study of behavior of the EIT resonance (which is also called the “dark” resonance) formed in the Л system of the D 1 line of 87Rb atoms in strong magnetic fields up to 1700 G (0.17 T) are reported for the first time. Three dark resonances are recorded in magnetic fields with induction B < 300 G, two resonances are recorded at B > 650 G, and only one dark resonance is retained at B > 1200 G. A method of the formation of a dark resonance at a given frequency is demonstrated that will allow, under the corresponding conditions, the formation of a dark resonance also at B > 0.2 T. The experimental results are well described by the known theoretical models. Practical applications of these results are indicated.

Splitting of the electromagnetically induced transparency resonance on 85Rb atoms in strong magnetic fields up to the Paschen-Back regime

Armen D. Sargsyan, R. Mirzoyan, David G. Sarkisyan

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonance in strong magnetic fields of up to 1.7 kG has been investigated with the use of a 30-μm cell filled with an atomic rubidium vapor and neon as a buffer gas. The EIT resonance in the Λ system of the D 1 line of 85 Rb atoms has been formed with the use of two narrowband (∼1 MHz) 795-nm diode lasers. The EIT resonance in a longitudinal magnetic field is split into five components. It has been demonstrated that the frequencies of the five EIT components are either blue- or red-shifted with an increase in the magnetic field, depending on the frequency ν P of the probe laser. In has been shown that in both cases the 85 Rb atoms enter the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime in magnetic fields of >1 kG. The hyperfine Paschen-Back regime is manifested by the frequency slopes of all five EIT components asymptotically approaching the same fixed value. The experiment agrees well with the theory.

Electromagnetically induced transparency with magnetically induced Δ F = 0 , m F = 0 → m F = 0 probe transition

Armen D. Sargsyan, David G. Sarkisyan, A. Papoyan

Abstract Interest in magnetically induced (MI) transitions of alkali metal atoms is caused by the fact that their intensities can exceed the intensities of ‘regular’ atomic transitions in a wide magnetic field range (200–4000 G). The goal of this work was to form and study, for the first time, electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonance in a strong magnetic field using probe radiation tuned to | F g = F , m F = 0 ⟩ → | F e = F , m F = 0 ⟩ MI transition, which is forbidden in zero magnetic fields. Two narrow-band linearly polarized cw diode lasers were used to form EIT resonance on a Λ-type system of a Cs atomic D 2 line in a strong transverse magnetic field (up to 1000 G). The resonance was formed in a Cs atomic vapor nanocell with an atomic vapor column thickness of 850 nm.
