EXCITED-STATE FARADAY ANOMALOUS-DISPERSION SPECTRUM OF RUBIDIUM

This paper reports on the excited state Faraday anomalous dispersion s pectrum (FADS) of rubidium based on transition 5P(3/2) --> 5D(5/2). Th eoretical analysis and experimental studies have been made. The result s showed that the peak transmission occurred at the central frequency of the transition, there was an optimal magnetic intensity at a certai n temperature and primp power, and peak transmission increased with th e enhancement of pump power. 16% transmission was predicted when the d ensity of 5P(3/2) atoms was sufficient.
