We investigate the coherent population trapping effect occurring between the Zeeman sublevels of a given hyperfine state of
Cs when excited by a single-mode diode laser, which is frequency modulated in the kHz–MHz range. In the presence of a dc magnetic
field, simultaneous excitation of pairs of ground-state magnetic sublevels to common excited magnetic sublevels is performed.
As a result, coherent population trapping resonance is detected at only a given modulation frequency, whose value gives a
measure of the magnetic field. The parameters of the resonances are measured in order to determine the ultimate accuracy of
the magnetic field measurement.

From laser-induced line narrowing to electro- magnetically induced transparency: closed system analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The laser-induced line-narrowing effect, discovered more than thirty years ago, can also be applied to recent studies in high
resolution spectroscopy based on electromagnetically induced transparency. In this paper we first present a general form of
the transmission width of electromagnetically induced transparency in a homogeneously broadened medium. We then analyze a
Doppler broadened medium by using a lorentzian function as the atomic velocity distribution. The dependence of the transmission
linewidth on the driving field intensity is discussed and compared to the laser-induced line-narrowing effect. This dependence
can be characterized by a parameter which can be regarded as “the degree of optical pumping.”

We report the observation of bichromatic coherent population trapping under the transition ^87 RbFg = 1 → Fc = 0 with two linearly polarized laser beams by means of a Hanle effect configuration. The mechanism behind this effect is identified, and numerical solutions for the pump rates equations are presented. 相似文献

Cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy is explained in terms of the transmission function of a rapidly swept interferometer,
and the integrated transmission is shown to be proportional to the cavity ringdown time. The technique is demonstrated on
the b1Σg

We have studied the dispersion and absorption line shapes of coherent population trapping resonances (dark resonances) in
thermal cesium vapor. Outside the time-of-flight regime the line shapes can be described by a simple phenomenological model:
a sum of a dispersive and an absorptive Lorentzian of identical width and position, whose relative weights depend on the detuning
of the laser frequencies from the optical resonance. This functional form can be derived from a theoretical model for the
full multilevel structure of an alkali atom. The analytical expressions for the parameters of the line shape model show the
same behavior as the experimental data.

We measure the properties of coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances in Cs vapor cells as a function of temperature.
We expected the CPT signal to increase with higher vapor density, but instead the signal fades away above a certain density.
Two possible density-dependent explanations are discussed: spin-exchange collisions, which are found to give no relevant contribution
at the temperatures considered here, and increased absorption due to the optical thickness of the vapor. The dependence of
the dark-line resonance amplitude as a function of cell temperature can be well represented by a simple model based on the
optical thickness of the vapor as a function of temperature.

The atomic density, the buffer gas pressure, and the voltage dependence of the 510.6 nm laser line shape and its temporal evolution emitted from a Cu/CuBr vapor laser are measured. It is found that the monochromaticity of these laser lines can be improved greatly at a relative high buffer gas pressure. The temporal evolution of the line shape offers a stereoscopic view of a laser pulse. The sequence of appearance of the peaks of the line shape is governed by the intensity of the hyperfine component of the copper line. 相似文献

Measurements of oxygen concentration at high pressures (to 10.9 bar) were made using diode-laser absorption of oxygen A-band
transitions near 760 nm. The wide current-tuning frequency range (>30 cm-1) of vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) was exploited to enable the first scanned-wavelength demonstration of
diode-laser absorption at high pressures; this strategy is more robust than fixed-wavelength strategies, particularly in hostile
environments. The wide tuning range and rapid frequency response of the current tuning were further exploited to demonstrate
wavelength-modulation absorption spectroscopy in a high-pressure environment. The minimum detectable absorbance demonstrated,
∼1×10-4, corresponds to ∼800 ppm-m oxygen detectivity at room temperature and is limited by etalon noise. The rapid- and wide-frequency
tunability of VCSELs should significantly expand the application domain of absorption-based sensors limited in the past by
the small current-tuning frequency range (typically <2 cm-1) of conventional edge-emitting diode lasers.

Frequency Stability of Atomic Clocks Based on Coherent Population Trapping Resonance in ^85Rb 下载免费PDF全文
An atomic clock system based on coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance in 85Rb is reported, while most past works about the CPT clock are in ST Rb. A new modulation method (full-hyperfine-frequency-splitting modulation) is presented to reduce the effect of light shift to improve the frequency stability of the CPT clock in SSRb. The experimental results show that the short-term frequency stability of the CPT clock in SSRb is in the order of 10^-10/s and the long-term frequency stability can achieve 1.5 × 10^-11/80000s, which performs as well as 87 Rb in CPT resonance. This very good frequency stability performance associated with the low-cost and low-power properties of SSRb indicates that an atomic clock based on CPT in SSRb should be a promising candidate for making the chip scale atomic clock. 相似文献

Wavelength-modulation spectroscopy using a frequency-doubled current-modulated diode laser 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have studied atomic absorption in an argon discharge by wavelength-modulation spectroscopy with a frequency-doubled diode
laser. The tunable wavelength-modulated radiation at 430 nm was generated by frequency doubling a current-modulated 860-nm
diode laser in a KNbO3 crystal. 2f-, 4f- and 6f-harmonic spectra as a function of diode laser modulation depth were measured on a Doppler-broadened
sample of excited argon atoms produced in a capacitively coupled plasma chamber. Characterisation of the harmonic signals
was accomplished. Minimum detectable absorbances of 7.7×10-5 and 1.9×10-4 based on a 3σ criterion (σ being the standard deviation of the noise) were estimated for 2f- and 4f-harmonic detection of
the frequency-doubled radiation with a time constant of 0.1 s. The concentrations of argon in the 1s4 state were found to be in the range of 3×108 to 1.2×1011 cm-3 for the experimental conditions studied.

We theoretically describe and experimentally investigate the spatio-spectral wave mixing of induced and spontaneous emission
in large-area InGaAs-semiconductor laser amplifiers. The dynamic light-matter-coupling is described by a spatially resolved
theory based on Maxwell–Bloch–Langevin equations, taking into account many-body-carrier interactions, energy transfer between
the carrier and phonon systems and, in particular, the spatio-temporal interplay of stimulated and amplified spontaneous emission
and the noise caused by spontaneous emission. Our numerical model reveals the fundamental physical processes which are responsible
for the spectral power distribution of the amplified laser light and predicts the emission properties of high-power semiconductor
laser amplifiers, such as emission spectra and input power–output power characteristics.

A dual-beam laser absorption spectrometer with balanced detection for high sensitivity detection of oxygen via the A-band
at 760 nm is described. The 2×2 vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser arrays used for this set-up are characterized by their
wavelength tuning behavior with temperature and current, amplitude modulation, side-mode suppression ratio and polarization
contrast. The spectrometer performance is determined over time periods of up to 10 h using the variation in the differential
absorption between two beam paths. With the R11R11 line at STP, 670 μW laser power and 200 mm-long absorption cells, we realized
an excellent linearity (R=0.9999) and over a 5-min interval a record sensitivity for VCSEL-based spectrometers of 35 ppmV,
corresponding to an optical density (O.D.) of 7×10-7. For this specific set-up, this sensitivity is only a factor of 2.7 above the shot noise limit, giving us a normalized detection
limit of 7.6 ppmV·m·. Over a 10-h interval we achieved a standard deviation of 65 ppmV.

Optical magnetometers have reached sensitivities that make them interesting candidates for the measurement of weak magnetic
fields also outside physics laboratories. In order to overcome problems with stray magnetic fields a common solution with
existing magnetometers is to operate a pair of them in a gradiometer configuration: one sensor measures the signal plus the
stray fields, while the other one is mounted such that it is only influenced by the stray fields. In the difference signal
the stray fields cancel. We have constructed such a gradiometer consisting of two sensors based on coherent population trapping
(CPT) resonances in a thermal cesium vapor. Using a magnetic bias field the intrinsically scalar CPT magnetometer can be turned
into a true vector magnetometer that is insensitive to magnetic fields perpendicular to a chosen measurement direction. We
describe how to align and calibrate the gradiometer. Stray field suppression by more than two orders of magnitude has been
achieved, limited by the sensitivity of the magnetometer. This makes possible the detection of picotesla flux density changes
in a weakly shielded or even unshielded environment.

Soliton-like pulse-shaping mechanism in passively mode-locked surface-emitting semiconductor lasers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
R. Paschotta R. Häring A. Garnache S. Hoogland A.C. Tropper U. Keller 《Applied physics. B, Lasers and optics》2002,75(4-5):445-451
We discuss a mechanism that allows the formation of nearly transform-limited soliton-like pulses in passively mode-locked
optically pumped external-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers. It involves the interplay of positive dispersion and
the nonlinear index changes in gain medium and saturable absorber, while ordinary solitons are based on dispersion and the
Kerr effect. The obtained quasi-soliton pulses share some of the properties of ordinary solitons (in particular, their stability
and near bandwidth-limited nature), while other properties are different. In particular, the pulse duration scales with the
square root of the cavity dispersion, and an excessive drift of the laser wavelength must be avoided by proper design.

A miniature high-coherent diode laser was developed. Optical feedback from a high-Q microsphere resonator was used to narrow
the spectrum of the laser, and a nearly half-pitch gradient-index lens served as a coupling element. As estimated from the
variation in frequency-tuning range (chirp-reduction factor) the fast line width of the laser was reduced by more than three
orders. It is remarkable that the system reveals stable single-mode operation at a relatively high feedback level. A tentative
explanation is presented in terms of previously given models.

Experimental results have demonstrated that the use of ejector-nozzle concepts can allow to achieve simultaneously high chemical
efficiency and high pressure recovery in a chemical oxygen iodine laser. The estimated small-signal gain of the gain medium
generated by these nozzle banks was from 0.5 to 0.8 %/cm. In laser experiments with all nozzle banks (NB-1–NB-5), Pitot pressures
of the order of 80 Torr and Mach numbers of ∼2 in the cavity-mixing chamber have been achieved. The geometry of a given ejector-nozzle
bank and gas-flow conditions affect the power extraction and chemical efficiency. The main factors for high efficiency and
high power are small mixing scale, high area for the oxygen flow, dilution of chlorine by helium, and the arrangement of nozzles.
A chemical efficiency of 25% at a power level of ∼900 W was obtained for NB-1 having the smallest mixing scale, parallel injection
of all flows, and dilution of oxygen by helium. The highest power of ∼1.2 kW with a chemical efficiency of 19.5% and 160 W/cm2 of specific output power was achieved with NB-5 having the largest area for the oxygen flow and dilution of oxygen by helium.
