基于铯原子6S_1/2 -6P_3/2 -8S_1/2的阶梯型能级系统,对室温下铯原子气室中的电磁感应透明(EIT)谱进行了研究.由于探测光的频率锁定于基态6S_1/2(F=3)到中间态6P_3/2的超精细跃迁线上,耦合光在中间态6P_3/2和激发态8S_1/2之间扫描,得到的EIT谱具有平坦的背景,提高了光谱的精度.理论上,采用了一个多能级的EIT模型,将其计算结果与所观察的实验现象进行了比较,二者符合得比较好. 关键词： 电磁感应透明 光抽运 超精细结构 阶梯型系统

PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DENSITY-DEPENDENT SHIFT BY WAVELENGTH MODULATION REFLECTION SPECTROSCOPY

The density dependence of the line shift of the cesium D₂ line is studied with sub-Doppler selective reflection spectroscopy. By use of wavelength modulation and sixth-harmonics detection we observed the coefficient of the pressure-induced shift of the 6S_1/2(F=4)→6P_3/2(F'=3) hyperfine transition of the cesium D₂ line Δδ/ρ=-0.9(5)×10^-8cm³. In the limit ρ=0 a frequency shift about -3MHz remains, which may be attributed to long-range atom－surface interactions. The experimental results can be used in measurements of the local field-induced frequency shift at high atomic densities with sufficient accuracy.     

Acceleration of cold Rb atoms by frequency modulated light pulses

The displacement of Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) caused by the force of a finite time series of counter-propagating frequency modulated light pulse pairs is measured as a function of the chirp of the pulses. The frequency modulated light pulses induced ⁸⁵Rb 5²S_1/2 F=3 ↔ ⁸⁵Rb 5²P_3/2 F'=2, 3, 4 excitation and de-excitation of the atoms. The result of this excitation de-excitation process is a force causing the acceleration and, consequently, the displacement of the maximum of the spatial distribution of the trap atoms. The time dependence of the populations of the levels of the atom are calculated — including also the ⁸⁵Rb 5²S_1/2 F=2 and F'=1 states — as the result of the interaction with the finite train of counter propagating frequency modulated light pulses by the solution of the Bloch equations. As the result of the measurement the interval of the chirp of the frequency modulated light of given intensity where the transitions take place, are determined. The results of the experiment and the expectation on the basis of model calculations are in qualitative agreement.

Effect of Zeeman Depopulation Pumping on Cycling Atomic Transitions

The results of an investigation of fluorescence signal at 6S_1/2 (F_g = 4) → 6P_3/2 (F_e = 5) transition of D₂ line of atomic Cs vapor versus the magnetic field (up to B = 90 G), directed along the linear polarization of exciting light are presented. The recorded reduction of fluorescence in the magnetic field, which is especially strong at high intensity of laser radiation, is explained by conversion of the Zeeman optical pumping (the alignment) into the depopulation pumping under conditions, when the Zeeman frequency shift of individual transitions between magnetic sublevels exceeds the homogeneous width of transition. In consequence, the cycling hyperfine transition F_g = 4 → F_e = 5 is transformed into an open one.

Axial and conical parametric emissions from potassium atoms under two-photon fs excitation

We report on the emissions near the 5P_3/2,1/2–4S_1/2 and 4P_3/2,1/2–4S_1/2 transitions of potassium atoms which are excited by a fs laser beam. The field at the transition 5P_3/2,1/2–4S_1/2 is mainly the result of a parametric process with an axial profile when the excitation frequency is tuned above resonance and a conical one below resonance. Similar but not identical far-field patterns were also observed for the 4P_3/2,1/2–4S_1/2 emission. No amplified spontaneous emission was observed for the fs case, in contrast to the ns excitation for the 4P_3/2,1/2–4S_1/2 transition.     

Bestimmung derP 3/2 —D 3/2-Aufspaltimg und Nachweis von crossing-Signalen im Zustandn=3 von ionisiertem Helium

Radio frequency induced transitions between 3D _5/2- and 3P _3/2-Zeeman sublevels in He⁺ have been detected. From the position of the line center of theD _5/2 (m=?1/2)—P _3/2(m=1/2) transition, the splittings 3D _5/2—3P _3/2=(17259±13) MHz and 3P _3/2—3D _3/2=(81±13) MHz have been deduced. The theoretical values are 17254.9 and 85.4 MHz. Three crossings of Zeeman sublevels of the 3S-, 3P- and 3D-states of He⁺ have been detected both by a magnetic and an electric field modulation method. The crossing-field strengths are in good agreement with the calculated values.     

Understanding the magnetic ground state of rare-earth intermetallic compound Ce4Sb3: Magnetization and neutron diffraction studies

Magnetization and neutron diffraction studies have been performed on Ce₄Sb₃ compound (cubic Th₃P₄-type, space group I4¯3d, no. 220). Magnetization of Ce₄Sb₃ reveals a ferromagnetic transition at ∼5 K, the temperature below which the zero-field-cooled and field-cooled magnetization bifurcate in low applied fields. However, a saturation magnetization (M_S) value of only ∼0.93μ_B/Ce³⁺ is observed at 1.8 K, suggesting possible presence of crystal field effects and a paramagnetic/antiferromagnetic Ce³⁺ moment. Magnetocaloric effect in this compound has been computed using the magnetization vs. field data obtained in the vicinity of the magnetic transition, and a maximum magnetic entropy change, −ΔS_M, of ∼8.9 J/kg/K is obtained at 5 K for a field change of 5 T. Inverse magnetocaloric effect occurs at ∼2 K in 5 T indicating the presence of antiferromagnetic component. This has been further confirmed by the neutron diffraction study that evidences commensurate antiferromagnetic ordering at 2 K in zero magnetic field. A magnetic moment of ∼1.24μ_B/Ce³⁺ is obtained at 2 K and the magnetic moments are directed along Z-axis.
