Sub-Doppler features of optical processes in the Rb extremely thin cell filled with an additional buffer gas.

David G. Sarkisyan, G. Hakhumyan, Armen D. Sargsyan +2 more

Comparison of the resonant absorption and fluorescence in the extremely thin cell (ETC) filled with pure Rb with another one filled with Rb and Neon gas with the pressures 6 Torr and 20 Torr is provided. The effect of the collapse and revival of Dicke-type narrowing is still observable for the thickness L=λ/2, and L=λ, where λ is a resonant laser wavelength 794 nm (D1 line of the Rb), i.e. the spectra of the resonant absorption and fluorescence demonstrate the sub-Doppler narrowing for the thickness L=λ/2 and broadening for the thickness L=λ. It is important to note, that in an ordinary Rb cell with the thickness L in the range of 1mm- 10 cm filled with buffer gas, with a pressure higher than 1 Torr in the Saturation Absorption scheme, any sub-Doppler features are absent. For L= λ the so called velocity selective optical pumping (VSOP) resonance located at the atomic transition is still observable when Ne pressure is 6 Torr , while the linewidth is increased by 4 times in comparison with that obtained in the pure Rb ETC. This VSOP resonance is wash out when Ne pressure is 20 Torr. It is demonstrated that use of the fluorescence spectra at L=λ/2 allows one to use the ETC for the buffer gas pressure measurement. Comparison with the theory is presented.

Transformation of spatial modulation of a light field into amplitude modulation in the interaction of a superposition of transverse modes of a He-Ne laser with iodine-127 vapors

Andrey V. Mironov

The observation of “spatial-modulation” resonances of saturated absorption in the interaction of iodine-127 vapors with a superposition of frequency-nondegenerate TEM 01 and TEM 10 transverse modes of a linear laser is reported. The modulation of the total radiation power of the probing wave, recorded at twice the beating frequency of transverse modes of the laser, is interpreted to be the result of the transformation of modulation of the spatial distribution of the field into its amplitude modulation under the action of nonlinearly absorbing iodine vapors. Resonances of saturated absorption of the weak line R (127)11-5 of iodine-127 (633 nm) in an extracavity cell are observed by the method proposed.

A 461 nm Laser System and Hollow-Cathode Lamp Spectroscopy for Magneto-Optical Trapping of Sr Atoms

T. Aoki, Kotaro Umezawa, Yuki Yamanaka +3 more

We develop a laser system with a wavelength of 461 nm and a power of 175 mW using a master oscillation power amplifier (MOPA) system and second-harmonic generation (SHG) via a KNbO 3 crystal. To stabilize the laser frequency to the atomic absorption line, we measured the saturated absorption spectrum of a Sr hollow-cathode lamp. The dependences of the Lamb dip signal and the frequency modulation spectrum on the pump beam power were observed. The collision broadening due to the Ne buffer gas increased the observed width of the signals in addition to the saturation effect. In spite of such an increased width (∼100 MHz), we demonstrated stable magneto-optical trapping of Sr atoms. The number of atoms obtained, 1×10 7 , is sufficient to proceed to various ultracold Sr atoms experiments.
