Reversed Dark Resonance in Rb Atom Excited by a Diode Laser

Atomic Physics 2009-11-06 v1 Optics

Abstract

Origin of recently discovered reversed (opposite sign) dark resonances was explained theoretically and verified experimentally. It is shown that the reason for these resonances is a specific optical pumping of ground state level in a transition when ground state angular momentum is smaller than the excited state momentum.
