Abstract
We report on the measurements of magnetically assisted dispersion and gain in a Zeeman degenerate two-level system associated with the closed D2 hyperfine transition Fg=3→Fe=2 cold cesium atoms. We use a Mach–Zehnder interferometer to measure the dispersive properties of this system in the presence of a magnetic field, transversal to the quantization direction, when the atomic system is excited by a coupling and probe beams with orthogonal polarizations. We have measured the spectrum of the refraction index for different magnitudes of the external magnetic field and different coupling beam intensities. A previously published theoretical model, using a simpler atomic transition Fg=1→Fe=0, accounts reasonably for the experimentally observed gain and dispersive lineshapes.
期刊介绍:
Published twice-monthly (24 issues per year), Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics covers the study of atoms, ions, molecules and clusters, and their structure and interactions with particles, photons or fields. The journal also publishes articles dealing with those aspects of spectroscopy, quantum optics and non-linear optics, laser physics, astrophysics, plasma physics, chemical physics, optical cooling and trapping and other investigations where the objects of study are the elementary atomic, ionic or molecular properties of processes.
