Double radio–optical resonance in alkali metal vapors subjected to laser excitation

L. A. Budkin, V. L. Velichanskiǐ, Alexander S. Zibrov +3 more

An investigation was made of a double radio–optical resonance (DROR) in a multilevel system of the alkali metal type. Equations for the density matrix were solved to obtain expressions for the signal, DROR line width, and shift of the maximum of DROR line peak. A study was made of the principal characteristics of a DROR in an optically dense medium in the form of a rubidium vapor. The ultimate short-term frequency instability of a rubidium discriminator was estimated to be 2 × 10 − 14 t − 1/2 . Several experiments were carried out using an injection laser as an optical pump source. The results of the measurements yielded a short-term instability of 3 × 10 − 12 t − 1/2 . An investigation was made of the optical frequency shift and an anomalous dependence of the shift on the intensity was observed. The results of the experimental and theoretical investigations were compared. The requirements for stabilization of the DROR parameters needed to reduce the frequency instability of a rubidium discriminator to the 10 − 14 level were identified.

Double Radio-Optical Resonance in the Hanle Configuration under the Excitation of the D1 Absorption Line in Alkali Metal Atoms

Denis V. Brazhnikov, Vasily M. Entin, I. I. Ryabtsev

The absorption of a light wave interacting with optical transitions in the D1line of an alkali metal atom subjected to microwave radiation that is in resonance with magnetic dipole transitions between hyperfine ground-state components, has been investigated. It is known that when scanning a longitudinal magnetic field (B||k, wherekis the wavevector), one may observe a magneto-optical resonance due to the ground-state Hanle effect. In addition, the effect of double radio-optical resonance takes place because of the presence of the resonance microwave field. The joint influence of these effects on the formation of a narrow magneto-optical resonance in light wave absorption has been studied theoretically and experimentally. It has been shown analytically that the effects compete with each other and destructively act on the resonance formation. As a result, the amplitude of the resonance is small and its shape is complicated. However, in the presence of a buffer gas the pressure of which is such that the hyperfine splitting of the ground state remains spectrally unresolved, it becomes possible to observe a magneto-optical resonance with a relatively large amplitude. Experiments have been carried out with the use of a miniature glass cell (V~ 0.1 cm3) filled with87Rb vapor and a buffer gas argon (a pressure of about 95 Torr). In particular, the theoretically predicted resonance narrowing with increasing light field intensity has been experimentally observed. A configuration for magneto-optical resonance excitation suggested here may be applied in quantum magnetometry to measure weak permanent magnetic fields and resonance microwave fields using cells filled with alkali metal vapor.
