Forward scattering induced by laser fields in atomic J=1→J=0 systems

Peculiarities of the magneto-optical resonances on 2p53s states in a NE glow discharge

“…A value of 0.39 ± 0.06 Gauss i.e., (1.65 ± 0.25) MHz was measured. Such difference can be connected with the broadening of the absorbing state due to the high laser intensity 16) , and also with some approximations assumed in 15,17) in the derivation of Eq.(6). Such approximations include absence of depolarizing collisions, weak absorption and neglecting of the initial alignment or orientation of the considered levels.…”

“…8, it is necessary to transform the dimensionless units into magnetic field units, as well as to add a term considering the "normal" Faraday rotation. The coefficient before this term according to 16) is of the order of L / D . Fig.…”

Nonlinear magneto-optical rotation in calcium - theory and experiment

“…This is a particularly interesting situation because an explicit analytic theory in which both effects are included can be set up, and becomes available as an interpretative tool for arbitrary strengths of the fields (within a range set by multiphoton ionization effects in the case of the laser field and the onset of the quadratic Zeeman effect in the case of the magnetic field). For early experiments on Ne and Sm, we refer to the work of McLean et al [20] and Jungner et al [21] and to the work of Davies et al [22], Drake et al [23] and Barkov et al [24], respectively.…”
