Line shape and light shift of coherent population trapping resonance under Ramsey interrogation in ‘hot’ atoms in an optically dense medium

Abstract

Abstract A theory is developed for the effect of coherent population trapping (CPT) in ‘hot’ atoms under pulsed pumping in an optically dense medium with a buffer gas. The case is considered when the excited level is not degenerate. Based on an analysis of the shape of Ramsey resonances, we show that with increasing optical density of the medium, the dependence of the light shifts of the CPT resonance becomes more and more nontrivial. The dependence of the light shifts of the CPT resonance on the magnitude of the hyperfine splitting of the excited level, concentration of active atoms, temperature, and duration of the dark pause is constructed.

The Effect of the Hyperfine Structure of an Excited Level on the Shape of the Coherent Population Trapping Resonance under Ramsey Interrogation in an Optically Dense Medium

Abstract The effect of the hyperfine structure of an excited level on the shape of the coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance under Ramsey interrogation is investigated in media with different optical thicknesses. The shape of the CPT resonance is constructed for optically thin and dense media, and the results are compared. The dependence of the light shift on the optical density of a medium is analyzed. The parameters of the field phases are determined for which the light shift remains constant under fluctuations of the optical thickness of the medium.

Effect of collisions on the shape of the coherent population trapping resonance detected by the Ramsey method

Abstract We report on a theoretical model of the effect of coherent population trapping in alkali atoms in an optically thin gas cell with a buffer gas at a nonzero temperature in a pulsed laser field. The shape of the Ramsey resonance is analysed for two different temperature ranges, i. e. for a ‘cold’ atomic ensemble and for an ensemble of ‘hot’ atoms in a cell with a buffer gas. The influence of the hyperfine structure of the excited level on the shift of the central Ramsey resonance is investigated.

Analysis of the light shift in the hyper-Ramsey scheme of two-level atom interrogation in an optically dense medium

К. А. Баранцев, A.N. Litvinov

Abstract The properties of the Ramsey resonance and its sensitivity to the light shift of the atomic transition frequency are investigated in the case of the hyper-Ramsey interrogation in an optically dense medium of cold atoms. The shape of the interrogating pulses varies significantly due to the processes of absorption and dispersion in the atomic medium, which leads to a distortion of the Ramsey resonance and a periodic change in the central minimum to the maximum and vice versa. The dependence of the position of the central resonance on the light shift of the atomic transition is found with the attenuation of radiation in the medium taken into account. It is shown that in a certain section of the medium this dependence becomes N-shaped.

Light shift of the Ramsey resonance of coherent population trapping in optically dense medium

In this work we calculate the Ramsey resonances of coherent population trapping effect in cold atomic ensembles. The main goal is to investigate the light shift of the resonance on the different parameters in optically dense medium, because such medium can to distort and absorb the interrogating laser pulses.

Influence of an optical dense medium at the Ramsey method of CPT resonance detection

К. А. Баранцев, Г. В. Волошин, A. N. Litvinov +1 more

In this paper we investigate the effects observed in optical dense medium when detecting the coherent population trapping resonance by the Ramsey method. The cloud of cold atoms interacts with two laser pulses one of which excites the coherent population trapping resonance and the second detects it. The signal of radiation passed through the medium and signal of fluorescence were analyzed. Shifts of the side peaks of the Ramsey fringes are observed with increasing optical density of the medium.

Line shape of coherent population trapping resonance in the Λ-scheme under Ramsey-type interrogation in an optically dense medium

К. А. Баранцев, Е. Н. Попов, A N Litvinov

We report a study of the Ramsey technique for detecting coherent population trapping resonance in a cold rarified ensemble of atoms with the collective effects related to its finite optical thickness taken into account. It is found that with the growth of the optical thickness of the medium the Ramsey comb becomes shifted with its maxima ‘trimmed’. The possibility of producing a region of maximal atomic excitation near the exit from the medium is found.
