Saturated absorption spectroscopy of acetylene molecules with an optical nanofiber

We performed saturated absorption spectroscopy of acetylene (C₂H₂) ν₁ + ν₃ band transitions with an optical nanofiber (ONF). Owing to high-intensity light around the ONF, we observed a Lamb dip at relatively low-power laser (~10 mW) without a cavity. Our results showed that the simple ONF spectrometer is advantageous for performing saturation absorption spectroscopy and serves as a practical low-cost wavelength reference in the optical fiber communication band.

Investigation of the transit-time broadening in optical nanofiber based spectroscopy

Yun Qi, Wei Jin, Hoi Lut Ho

Optical nanofiber is a widely adopted platform for highly efficient light-matter interaction by virtue of its exposed evanescent field with high light intensity. However, the strongly constrained mode field with the wavelength-scale size makes the light-matter interaction time limited in consideration of the random thermal motion of warm molecules, which results in considerable transit-time dephasing and thus line broadening. Here we report a systematic study of the transit-time effect associated with the optical nanofibers. Both simulation and experiment for nanofibers exposed in acetylene demonstrate the considerable transit-time broadened linewidth in the low-pressure range.

Acetylene-based frequency stabilization of a laser system for potassium laser cooling

Charbel Cherfan, Isam Manai, Samir Zemmouri +4 more

We demonstrate a laser frequency stabilization technique for laser cooling of potassium atoms, based on saturated absorption spectroscopy in the C-Band optical telecommunication window, using ro-vibrational transitions of the acetylene molecule (12 C 2 H 2). We identified and characterized several molecular lines, which allow to address each of the potassium D2 (767 nm) and D1 (770 nm) cooling transitions, thanks to a high-power second harmonic generation (SHG) stage. We successfully used this laser system to cool the 41 K isotope of potassium in a 2D-3D Magneto-Optical Traps setup.
