This work has constructed a model for the theoretical analysis of generalized magneto-optical transmission (GMOT) filters for any relative angle between the light beam and the applied magnetic field. This model was experimentally validated and shows good agreement between the theoretical predictions and the experimental spectra. In addition, the value of examining magneto-optical filters for arbitrary angle cases was demonstrated by revealing an optimized filter with an equivalent noise bandwidth of 0.56 GHz which is approximately a factor of two better than those previously reported.
Steady-state laser-induced fluorescence techniques have been used to study the rates for energy transfer between the 5 2 P 1/2,3/2 levels in rubidium. The cross sections for collisions with the molecular species H 2 , D 2 , N 2 , CH 4 , and CF 4 have been measured as 2 ( 2 P 1/2 → 2 P 3/2 )ϭ10.0, 21.4, 13.2, 29.5, and 9.5ϫ10 Ϫ16 cm 2 and 1 ( 2 P 3/2 → 2 P 1/2 )ϭ13.9, 29.8, 18.4, 41.0, and 13.2ϫ10 Ϫ16 cm 2 , respectively. Correlation of these spin-orbit transfer probabilities with rotational-energy defect is demonstrated.
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.
