Visualizing strongly focused 3D light fields in an atomic vapor
Sphinx Svensson, Clare R. Higgins, Danielle Pizzey +2
Structured light, when strongly focused, generates highly confined vectorial electromagnetic field distributions which may feature a polarization component along the optical axis.…

Modelling spectra of hot alkali vapour in the saturation regime
Daniel R Häupl, Clare R Higgins, Danielle Pizzey +5
Laser spectroscopy of hot atomic vapours has been studied extensively. Theoretical models that predict the absolute value of the electric susceptibility are crucial for optimising…

Fine-structure changing collisions in Rb upon D2 excitation in the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime
Clare R. Higgins, Danielle Pizzey, Ifan G. Hughes
We investigate fine structure changing collisions in Rb vapour upon D2 excitation in a thermal vapour at 350 K; the atoms are placed in a 0.6 T axial magnetic field in order…
