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 …

We present a computer program and underlying model to calculate the electric susceptibility
of a gas, which is essential to predict its absorptive and dispersive properties. Our program …

We demonstrate laser frequency stabilization to excited state transitions using cascade
electromagnetically induced transparency. Using a room temperature Rb vapor cell as a …

We implement a compact optical frequency standard at the wavelength of 852 nm by the
modulation transfer spectroscopy (MTS) technique, using a Faraday laser as the local …

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the Faraday effect in an atomic medium in
the hyperfine Paschen–Back regime, where the Zeeman interaction is larger than the …

We present the properties and advantages of a new magneto-optical trap (MOT) where blue-
detuned light drives “type-II” transitions that have dark ground states. Using Rb 87, we reach …

We discuss the physics of sub-Doppler DAVLL spectroscopy, which employs a pump beam
with an axial magnetic field to induce dichroism in an atomic vapour. The dichroism is …

This tutorial provides a hands-on entry point about laser locking for atomic vapor research
and related research such as laser cooling. We furthermore introduce common materials …

This paper reports on an experimental realization of an automatic laser locking scheme
using the artificial intelligence algorithm. We design a classifier based on the support vector …
