Rubidium Pump-Probe Spectroscopy: Comparison between ab-initio Theory and Experiment

Abstract

We present a simple, analytic model for pump-probe spectroscopy in dilute atomic gases. Our model treats multilevel atoms, takes several broadening mechanisms into account and, with no free parameters, shows excellent agreement with experimentally observed spectra.
