Nonlinear Optics in a Thermal Rb Vapour at High Magnetic Fields: Thesis data

Direct measurement of excited-state dipole matrix elements using electromagnetically induced transparency in the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime Open Access

Applying large magnetic fields to gain access to the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime can isolate three-level systems in a hot alkali metal vapors, thereby simplifying usually complex atom-light interactions. We use this method to make the first direct measurement of the |<5P||er||5D>| matrix element in 87 Rb. An analytic model with only three-levels accurately models the experimental elec- tromagnetically induced transparency spectra and extracted Rabi-frequencies are used to determine the dipole matrix element. We measure |<5P 3/2 ||er||5D 5/2 >| = (2.290±0.002 stat ±0.04 syst ) ea0 which is in excellent agreement with the theoretical calculations of Safronova, Williams and Clark, Phys. Rev. A 69(2), 022509 (2004).
