Tunable Optical Delay In Doppler-Broadened Cesium Vapor, Monte D. Anderson
Tunable Optical Delay In Doppler-Broadened Cesium Vapor, Monte D. Anderson
Theses and Dissertations
Variable-delay tunable optical delay line or optical buffers are critical for the development of all-optical networks components as well as interferometry and analytic instruments. Recent research on slow light may hold the key for the development of the first practical tunable optical delay device. In this research the linear dispersion delay effects in an alkali vapor. The hyperfine relaxation observations present insight into the complex bleach wave dynamics during a high-intensity pulsed pump in DPAL systems.
Collisional Dynamics Of The Cesium D1 And D2 Transitions, Greg A. Pitz
Collisional Dynamics Of The Cesium D1 And D2 Transitions, Greg A. Pitz
Theses and Dissertations
The collisional dynamics of the 62P levels in cesium have been studied utilizing steady state laser absorption and laser induced florescence techniques. In addition the production of a blue beam produced by two photon absorption has been observed in potassium. The collisional broadening rate for cesium, λL, for He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, N2, H2, HD, D2, CH4, C2H6, CF4, and 3He are 24.13, 10.85, 18.31, 17.82, 19.74, 16.64, 20.81, 20.06, 18.04, 29.00, 26.70, 18.84, and 26.00 MHz/torr, respectively for the …
