Magnetically induced suppression and enhancement of optical excitation of ruby at anticrossing points
- Department of Physics and Institute for Quantum Studies, Texas A and M University, College Station, Texas 77843-4242 (United States)
Sharp resonances in optical excitation of ruby by laser pulses are observed as Zeeman sublevels anticross in an external magnetic field. For the R{sub 1} optical line of ruby (694.3 nm) excitation drops when the external magnetic field strength approaches 4.14 kG while for the R{sub 2} line (692.9 nm) it increases in 4.14 and 2.07 kG fields. A simple theoretical description of the observed effects on the basis of level mixing explains both situations.
