Ultralow-power local laser control of the dimer density in alkali-metal vapors through photodesorption

Pankaj K. Jha, Konstantin E. Dorfman, Zhenhuan Yi +6

Ultralow-power diode-laser radiation is employed to induce photodesorption of cesium from a partially transparent thin-film cesium adsorbate on a solid surface. Using resonant Rama…
