Self-induced transparency and coherent population trapping of 87Rb vapor in a mode-locked laser
Koji Masuda, Christoph Affolderbach, Gaetano Mileti, Jean-Claude Diels & Ladan Arissian
| Résumé |
Simultaneous self-induced transparency and a dark line resonance are
observed inside a mode-locked laser. The circulating pulse, tuned to
the 795-nm optical resonance of rubidium, has sufficient intensity
to create at each passage a population inversion—return to ground
state, typical of self-induced transparency. A drop in fluorescence
(dark line resonance), is observed as the repetition rate is tuned
to a submultiple of the hyperfine ground-state splitting. |
