Spin-velocity correlations of optically pumped atoms
R. Marsland, B. H. McGuyer, B. A. Olsen +1
We present efficient theoretical tools for describing the optical pumping of atoms by light propagating at arbitrary directions with respect to an external magnetic field, at buffe…
Hyperfine frequencies of 87Rb and 133Cs atoms in Xe gas
B. H. McGuyer, T. Xia, W. Happer
The microwave resonant frequencies of ground-state 87Rb and 133Cs atoms in Xe buffer gas are shown to have a relatively large nonlinear dependence on the Xe pressure, presumably be…
Simple method of light-shift suppression in optical pumping systems
B. H. McGuyer, Y. -Y. Jau, W. Happer
We report a simple method to suppress the light shift in optical pumping systems. This method uses only frequency modulation of a radio frequency or microwave source, which is used…
Cusp Kernels for Velocity-Changing Collisions
B. H. McGuyer, R. Marsland, B. A. Olsen +1
We introduce an analytical kernel, the "cusp" kernel, to model the effects of velocity-changing collisions on optically pumped atoms in low-pressure buffer gases. Like the widely u…
Collision Kernels from Velocity-Selective Optical Pumping with Magnetic Depolarization
T. Bhamre, R. Marsland, I. K. Kominis +2
We experimentally demonstrate how magnetic depolarization of velocity-selective optical pumping can be used to single out the collisional cusp kernel best describing spin and veloc…
