Abstract: | We demonstrate experimentally that the resolution of amplitude noise spectrum in Cs atomic vapor can be enhanced by narrowing the absorption using velocity selective optical pumping technique. It is found that the steep atomic dispersion accompanied by high absorption leads to more conversion of laser phase noise to amplitude noise, when the field propagates throughout the atoms, and meanwhile the spectral resolution is improved. The effect of optical pumping intensity on the spectrum resolution is experimentally discussed, and a theoretical explanation for this phenomenon is given, which shows that the phase-to-amplitude noise conversion is directly proportional to the dispersion of medium. |
