研究目的
Investigating the generation and maintenance of atomic coherence through linear and nonlinear spin-exchange coupling in a Bell-Bloom magnetometer, outside the standard conditions for collisional coherence transfer.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that linear and nonlinear spin-exchange coupling can lead to the generation of atomic coherence in a Bell-Bloom magnetometer, even outside the standard conditions for collisional coherence transfer. The nonlinear spin-exchange coupling acts analogously to a wave-mixing mechanism, creating additional modes of coherent excitation that inherit the magnetic properties of the natural Larmor coherence. This effect, combined with a controlled modulation, provides a rich scenario for improving spin coherence and paves the way for new schemes in room-temperature vapor magnetometry.
研究不足
The study is conducted in a low-density caesium vapor and for nonzero magnetic field, outside the standard conditions for collisional coherence transfer. The nonlinear coupling effect is observed only for relatively strong pump power.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves a Bell-Bloom pumping process to generate atomic coherences within ground-state manifolds of Cs atoms in a low-density thermal vapor. The pump is modulated at a frequency whose integer multiples do not overlap with the Larmor frequency.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Measurements are performed on a low-density (
3:33×1011 cm?3) thermal vapor of Cs atoms in an antirelaxation, paraf?n coated, glass cell. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The setup includes a circularly polarized pump laser beam, a probe beam for Faraday-type polarization rotation measurements, and a balanced photodetector for signal analysis.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The pump power is modulated with a square pulsed waveform, and the atomic coherences are monitored by continuous Faraday-type polarization rotation measurements. The signal is analyzed to extract its Fourier transform.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The Fourier transform of the magneto-optical signal is analyzed to monitor spectral components oscillating at frequencies other than the modulation frequency.
