The high resolution spectroscopy of nanometric alkali-vapor layers has been made possible through the development of extremely thin cell. We present a detailed comparison of the fluorescence profiles amplitude and width, obtained in the extremely thin cell, both theoretically and experimentally. Experiments are performed on the D_{2} line of Cs-vapor layer with thickness L = mλ, where m = 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. The enhancement rate of the transition profiles width is not growing monotonously, but it is larger for L varying in the interval from L = 0.75 λ to L = λ than that varying in the interval from L = λ to L = 1.25 λ. The used theoretical model, based on the optical Bloch equations is in qualitative agreement with the experimental observations.
The high resolution spectroscopy of nanometric-thin alkali-vapor layers was made possible through the development of extremely thin cell. We have investigated the behavior of the extremely thin cell fluorescence spectra both experimentally and theoretically. Experiment is performed on the D_2 line of Cs-vapor-layer with thickness L=mλ, where m = 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. For open optical transitions, the fluorescence spectra shows narrow dip on the top of the sub-Doppler-width fluorescence profile, at L≥λ. In case of closed transition, an extremely small feature in the fluorescence slightly shifted from its maximum is observed at L =(5/4)λ. The used theoretical model, based on the optical Bloch equations is in qualitative agreement with the experimental observations.
Magnetic field and its gradient measurements based on coherent population trapping resonances at the D_1 line of ^{87}Rb are performed by means of coupling two ground-state Zeeman sublevels belonging to different hyperfine levels to a common excited state. Two coherent laser fields with frequency difference of 6.8 GHz are used. They are produced by direct current modulation of a diode laser. The resonance splitting and broadening caused by the applied magnetic field is measured by scanning the laser modulation frequency around the ground-state hyperfine frequency.
Experimental results are presented about the transformation of the electromagnetically induced absorption resonance into the electromagnetically induced transparency one. The role of the depolarization of the excited state on the D_2 line of Cs atoms exposed to different confinements is discussed.
