Precision polarization measurements of the 6 s 2 S 1 Õ 2 \ 6 p 2 Pj Rayleigh scattering spectrum in atomic Cs

چکیده
A precision polarimeter has been developed to measure the linear polarization degree of Rayleigh scattered light. Application is made to measurement of the linear depolarization spectrum of atomic Cs in the vicinity of the 6s S1/2→6p P j resonance transition. For measurements in an ;220 cm range around the 6s S1/2→6p P3/2 resonance transition, the ratio of line strengths for the two resonance transitions has been found to be 2.003~52!, in excellent agreement with other methods. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1490151#

Nonlinear optical approach to matrix - element spectroscopy of the 5 s 2 S 1 / 2 → 5 p 2 P j → 5 d 2 D j ′ transitions in 87 Rb
We present in this paper results of a nonlinear optical spectroscopy approach to measurement of excited-state transition matrix elements. Recent advances in the quality of excited-state transition matrix elements have permitted renormalization of earlier measurements of transition amplitudes associated with the 5s S1/2 → 5p Pj → 5d D3/2 two-photon transitions in atomic 87Rb. Previous measuremen...
متن کاملAnomalous depolarization of the 5 p 2 P 3 Õ 2 \ 8 p 2 Pj 8 transitions in atomic 87 Rb
Measurements of the linear polarization degree of the 5p P3/2→8p P j8 transitions ( j851/2,3/2) in atomic Rb are reported. The radiative transitions are electric-dipole forbidden, but electric-quadrupole allowed. In addition, because of the relatively strong spin-orbit interaction in Rb, the p-p transitions can acquire a magnetic-dipole transition strength that may be a measurable fraction of t...
متن کاملPolarized hyper-Rayleigh light scattering measurements of nonlinear optical chromophores
Hyper-Rayleigh light scattering measurements at incident wavelengths of 1064 and 1319 nm are reported for several organic nonlinear optical chromophores in solution with approximately 5%– 10% uncertainty in the relative first hyperpolarizabilities. The measured chromophores include representatives from C1 , Cs , C2V, and D3 molecular point groups and include both neutral and ionic compounds. Th...

Ž . Measurements of hyper-Rayleigh scattering HRS in chloroform-d indicate that interaction induced contributions account for more than half of the scattered intensity from the liquid phase. The effective hyperpolarizability obtained from 2 2 : the entire liquid HRS spectrum in the VV polarization geometry is b s15.7"0.6 au. The unimolecular VV 2 2 : hyperpolarizabilities obtained from the Lore...
متن کاملAn optically pumped, highly polarized cesium beam for the study of spin-dependent electron scattering
We have set up an atomic beam of cesium for the study of spin-dependent electron-cesium scattering. The beam is produced by an effusive oven with continuous recirculation of the condensed metal. The beam is optically pumped by circularly polarized light from two laser diodes tuned to the 6 2 S1/2 (F -3) 6 21P3/2 (F' = 4) and 6 2 Sl/2 (F = 4) --, 6 2 P3/2 (F' = 5) transitions, respectively.
