ATOM-WALL COLLISIONS INFLUENCE ON DARKLINE ATOMIC RESONANCES IN SUBMICRON THIN VAPOUR CELLS.

Recently it was demonstrated that miniaturization of alkali cells, i.e. the use of an extremely thin cell (ETC) for the applications using the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effect, despite to intuitive expectation, does not cause a strong broadening of the dark-line (DL) linewidth. Here we present the conditions when a strong broadening of DL linewidth (more than by 10 times) can be easily observed due to atom-wall collisions influence and this could be a convenient and robust tool for atomwall (i.e. ETC's window material/temperature) collisions study. We present experimental and theoretical results on EIT realized in a Λ- system of 85Rb, D2 line, 5S-5P-5S for a Rb vapour c…

Calculation of modification of alkali metal atomic transition probability in strong external magnetic field and its application

International audience; Interaction of alkali atoms with external magnetic field induced a splitting and a shift of their energy levels. We have study this interaction for external field from 0 to 5000 Gauss when the alkali vapor is confined in submicron thin vapor cell with thickness L = λ/2. Rubidium and Sodium vapors have been studied. The Hamiltonian can be expressed as the sum of the unperturbated atomic Hamiltonian and the so-called Zeeman Hamiltonian. The probability of a transition, induced by the laser electric field is proportional to the square of the transfer coefficients modified by the presence of the magnetic field. We will show that the strong nonlinearity of the transition …
