Competition between Zeeman and hyperfine pumping in thermal atomic vapor

We present ab initio reduced rate equation models to study the interplay of Zeeman and hyperfine pumping, which determines the Doppler-broadened absorption spectra of an arbitrarily polarized probe laser, in thermal atomic vapor. Our simple models (with maximum seven levels) accurately predict the d...

Zusammenfassung:We present ab initio reduced rate equation models to study the interplay of Zeeman and hyperfine pumping, which determines the Doppler-broadened absorption spectra of an arbitrarily polarized probe laser, in thermal atomic vapor. Our simple models (with maximum seven levels) accurately predict the dependence of probe absorption on its polarization for the 87 Rb D 2 line (residual error
