Transformation of vector modes by the Faraday effect in strong magnetic fields

Sphinx J. Svensson, Craig J. A. Millar, Danielle Pizzey +2

Large Faraday rotations can be generated by circular birefringence of atomic samples in an axial magnetic field in the vicinity of atomic resonance lines. The Faraday angle is a fu…

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…

Better magneto-optical filters with cascaded vapor cells in the Faraday-Faraday and Faraday-Voigt geometries

Fraser D. Logue, Jack D. Briscoe, Danielle Pizzey +2

Single-cell magneto-optical Faraday filters find great utility and are realized with either 'wing' or 'line center' spectral profiles. We show that cascading a second cell with ind…
