Quadrupole radiation of an atom in an arbitrary environment is investigated within classical as well as quantum electrodynamical approaches. Analytical expressions for decay rates are obtained in terms of the Green's function of Maxwell equations. The equivalence of both approaches is shown. General expressions are applied to analyze the quadrupole decay rate of an atom placed between two half spaces with arbitrary dielectric constant. It is shown that in the case where the atom is close to the surface, the total decay rate is inversely proportional to the fifth power of distance between an atom and a plane interface.

“…It was demonstrated a long time ago in microwave spectroscopy [11], and recently in the optical domain [12,13,14,15], that the optimal cell thickness L for atomic line shape narrowing is approximately λ/2 where λ is the wavelength of spectral features to be observed. This fact stimulated us (D.S.…”

We report the first use of an extremely thin vapor cell (thickness ∼ 400 nm) to study the magnetic-field dependence of laser-induced-fluorescence excitation spectra of alkali atoms. This thin cell allows for sub-Doppler resolution without the complexity of atomic beam or laser cooling techniques. This technique is used to study the laser-induced-fluorescence excitation spectra of Rb in a 50 G magnetic field. At this field strength the electronic angular momentum J and nuclear angular momentum I are only partially decoupled. As a result of the mixing of wavefunctions of different hyperfine states, we observe a nonlinear Zeeman effect for each sublevel, a substantial modification of the transition probabilities between different magnetic sublevels, and the appearance of transitions that are strictly forbidden in the absence of the magnetic field.For the case of right-and left-handed circularly polarized laser excitation, the fluorescence spectra differs qualitatively. Well pronounced magnetic field induced circular dichroism is observed. These observations are explained with a standard approach that describes the partial decoupling of I and J states.

“…With regards to its universality and to the possibilities to achieve exotic situations [2][3][4], the experimental investigations have remained relatively limited, and in particular, the list of materials submitted to experimental investigation has remained short. Most of the experiments have employed an optical detection, hence requiring transparency of the surface (occasionally, a thin metal film provides a sufficient transparency [1,5]).…”

“…This makes them good candidates to investigate how the thermal emissivity of the surface influences the vW interaction exerted onto a resonantly absorbing atom [3,4,11]. To implement the corresponding SR experiments, that require both a relatively dense (hot) vapour of alkali (Cs in our case), and hot windows of a controllable temperature, a specially designed vapour cell must be built-up.…”
