Self-induced transparency and optical transients in atomic vapors
B. S. Cartwright, S. A. Wrathmall, R. M. Potvliege
The rapid turn-on of a strong, resonant, continuous wave laser field may trigger the formation of a transient oscillation akin to a train of damped solitons, before the vapor-field…
Experimental and theoretical characterisation of Stokes polarimetry of the potassium D1 line with neon buffer gas broadening
Sharaa A. Alqarni, Danielle Pizzey, Steven A. Wrathmall +1
This study presents a comprehensive experimental and theoretical characterisation of Stokes polarimetry in potassium (K) vapour on the D1 line. Measurements were performed in the w…
Light propagation through an atomic vapor with non-orthogonal electric field modes
Jack D. Briscoe, Danielle Pizzey, Robert M. Potvliege +2
Alkali-metal atomic vapors are the foundation of an ever-growing range of applications, driven by a comprehensive understanding of their interaction with light. In particular, many…
The Role of Buffer Gas in Shaping the D1 Line Spectrum of Potassium Vapour
Sharaa A. Alqarni, Danielle Pizzey, Steven A Wrathmall +1
In this study, we investigate the effect of buffer gas and magnetic field on the spectral line shapes of the potassium D1 transition using sealed vapour cells filled with varying a…
