It is found to be related to the transient behaviour of atoms after colliding with the wall and the distribution of the field inside the vapour corresponds to L/λ, with L the thickness of the film and λ the incident wavelength. We find that the sub-Doppler structure is manifest both for normal incidence and small angle oblique incidence, It is feasible to detect the real part of selective reflection in several cases that have not been achieved before.展开更多
With a coupling laser locked to caesium 6S1/2 Fg=4-6P3/2 Fe=5 cycling transition and a co-propagating probe laser scanned across 6S1/2 Fg=4-6Pa/2 Fe=3, 4 and 5 transitions, a novel scheme for sub-Doppler spectra in Do...With a coupling laser locked to caesium 6S1/2 Fg=4-6P3/2 Fe=5 cycling transition and a co-propagating probe laser scanned across 6S1/2 Fg=4-6Pa/2 Fe=3, 4 and 5 transitions, a novel scheme for sub-Doppler spectra in Dopplerbroadened V-type three-level system is demonstrated by detecting the transmission of the coupling laser through a caesium vapour cell. The Autler-Townes doublet in the sub-Doppler spectra of the coupling laser is clearly observed. The effects of coupling laser intensity on the splitting and linewidth of the Autler-Townes doublet are experimentally investigated and the results agree well with theoretical predictions. Taking the multiple hyperfine levels of caesium atom into account, a brief analysis is presented.展开更多

The second-order Doppler effect, the recoil effect, the Zeeman effect, the pressure shift and the power shift are taken into consideration. The magnitudes of those shifts caused by various effects are evaluated. In order to reproduce the stability of 5.7 × 10^-14 obtained by Edwards, all necessary conditions are given. The results show that when there is a larger external magnetic field, the Zeeman shift could not be neglected, so that the shield should be employed. And the design of a long cavity is advantageous to reduce the influence of the second-order Doppler effect. The results also show that at least 4-2.5℃ temperature control for cavity can effectively prevent several effects and improve the frequency stability.展开更多

We report on the efficient gray molasses cooling of sodium atoms using the D2 optical transition at 589.1 nm.Thanks to the hyperfine split about 6Γ between |F’ = 2> and |F’ = 3> in the excited state 32 P3/2, ...We report on the efficient gray molasses cooling of sodium atoms using the D2 optical transition at 589.1 nm.Thanks to the hyperfine split about 6Γ between |F’ = 2> and |F’ = 3> in the excited state 32 P3/2, this atomic transition is effective for the gray molasses cooling mechanism. Using this cooling technique, the atomic sample in F = 2 ground manifold is cooled from 700 μK to 56 μK in 3.5 ms. We observe that the loading efficiency into magnetic trap is increased due to the lower temperature and high phase space density of atomic cloud after gray molasses. This technique offers a promising route for the fast cooling of the sodium atoms in the F = 2 state.展开更多

A magneto-optic atomic filter with single-peaked transmission spectrum of sub-Doppler bandwidth based on the thermal Ca atomic beam is firstly experimentally demonstrated. The fast Ca dipole transition(1S0–1P1) at 422.7 nm, which matches a strong solar Fraunhofer line, was utilized. A folded ninebeam traveling wave configuration is employed, and the maximum transmission efficiency is measured to be 7.3 %.A sub-Doppler transmission bandwidth of 590 MHz, much narrower than the 2.2 GHz Doppler width in the heated atomic cell, is obtained for the first time.展开更多
