Non-linear Faraday rotation on simple transitions in samarium vapour

P. E. G. Baird, M Irie, T D Wolfenden

New results demonstrating the dramatic changes to the form and magnitude of the resonant Faraday rotation with laser intensity, buffer gas pressure and magnetic field strength are presented for the transitions 4f 6 6s 2 7 F 0 -4f 6 6s6p 5 D 1 at 621 nm and 4f 6 6s 2 7 F 1 -4f 6 6s6p 5 D 0 at 654 nm. For both transitions, exact analytical solutions to the steady-state density matrix equations are possible and have been used. The experimental results show good qualitative agreement with the theoretical predictions. In the case of the 654 nm line Zeeman coherence occurs in the ground state and can be achieved at lower laser intensities than for the 621 nm line under comparable conditions.

Study of transitions in thulium atoms in the 410–420-nm range for laser cooling

Alexey V. Akimov, K. Chebakov, Inga Yu. TOLSTIKHINA +5 more

The possibility of laser cooling of thulium atoms is considered. The hyperfine structure of almost cyclic 4f 13 6s 2 ( J g = 7/2) ↔ 4f 12 5d 3/2 6s 2 ( J e = 9/2) and 4f 13 6s 2 ( J g = 7/2) ↔ 4f 12 5d 5/2 6s 2 ( J e = 9/2) transitions at 410.6 and 420.4 nm, respectively, is studied by the method of sub-Doppler saturation spectroscopy in counterpropagating laser beams. The hyperfine splitting of excited levels involved in these transitions is measured and the natural linewidths of these transitions are determined. The structure of the neighbouring 4f 13 6s6p ( J e = 5/2) and 4f 12 5d 5/2 6s 2 ( J e = 7/2) levels is studied for the first time by this method. The decay probabilities of the J e = 9/2 levels via channels removing atoms from the cooling cycle are calculated. It is found that the branching ratio for the strong transition at 410.6 nm ( A = 6 × 10 7 s -1 ) is smaller than 2 × 10 -5 , which makes this transition most promising for laser cooling. The laser cooling of atoms in a Zeeman cooler at this transition is simulated. The possibility of using a laser-cooled cloud of thulium atoms to study the metrological transition at 1.14 μm is discussed.
