We demonstrate coherent optical detection of highly excited Rydberg states (up to n= 124)
using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), providing a direct nondestructive …

We study the Doppler-broadened absorption of a weak monochromatic probe beam in a
thermal rubidium vapour cell on D lines. A detailed model of the susceptibility is developed …

We report modulation transfer spectroscopy on the D2 transitions in 85 Rb and 87 Rb using
a simple home-built electro-optic modulator (EOM). We show that both the gradient and …

Spectroscopy using tunable diode lasers is an area of research that has gone through a
dramatic evolution over the last few years, principally because of new exciting approaches …

The accurate determination and control of the wavelength of light is fundamental to many
fields of science. Speckle patterns resulting from the interference of multiple reflections in …

The electro-optic effect, where the refractive index of a medium is modified by an electric
field, is of central importance in nonlinear optics, laser technology, quantum optics and …

We develop a theoretical treatment of polarization spectroscopy and use it to make
predictions about the general form of polarization spectra in the alkali-metal atoms. Using …

We study pump–probe spectroscopy of Rb vapor. Absorption spectra are presented for a
weak probe beam in a room temperature vapor subject to a strong counter propagating …

Laser frequency stabilization is one of the key technologies in atomic physics experimental
system. In this paper, the basic principles, and features and the latest research progress on …

We describe experimental setups for producing large Bose-Einstein condensates of Na 23
and Rb 87⁠. In both, a high-flux thermal atomic beam is decelerated by a Zeeman slower …
