Polarization spectroscopy in rubidium and cesium
- Department of Physics, University of Durham, Rochester Building, South Road, Durham DH1 3LE (United Kingdom)
We develop a theoretical treatment of polarization spectroscopy and use it to make predictions about the general form of polarization spectra in the alkali-metal atoms. Using our model, we generate theoretical spectra for the D2 transitions in {sup 87}Rb, {sup 85}Rb, and {sup 133}Cs. Experiments demonstrate that the model accurately reproduces spectra of transitions from the upper hyperfine level of the ground state only. Among these, the closed transition F{yields}F{sup '}=F+1 dominates, with a steep gradient through line center ideally suited for use as a reference in laser locking.
