Investigation of microwave transitions and nonlinear magneto-optical rotation in anti-relaxation-coated cells
D. Budker, L. Hollberg, D. F. Kimball +3
Using laser optical pumping, widths and frequency shifts are determined for microwave transitions between ground-state hyperfine components of Rb and Rb atoms contain…

Observation of Large Atomic-Recoil Induced Asymmetries in Cold Atom Spectroscopy
C. W. Oates, G. Wilpers, L. Hollberg
The atomic recoil effect leads to large (25 %) asymmetries in simple spectroscopic investigations of Ca atoms that have been laser-cooled to 10 microkelvin. Starting with spectra f…

Theory of dark resonances for alkali vapors in a buffer-gas cell
A. Taichenachev, V. Yudin, R. Wynands +3
We develop an analytical theory of dark resonances that accounts for the full atomic-level structure, as well as all field-induced effects such as coherence preparation, optical pu…
