We study the general problem of Raman resonances in arbitrary magnetic fields for realistic alkali atoms. We first present the details of a model that includes all magnetic sub-levels and their appropriate coupling strengths to two laser fields. The numerical implementation of this model and some of the results are also presented. Our experimental arrangement is described and preliminary measurements are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
