Abstract
Rubidium desorption induced by weak and non-resonant light has been ob served in silane coated cells. The effect is non-thermal and produces a huge variation of the vapor density at room temperature. This effect has been observed, for the first time, by Gozzini et al. with sodium upon similar conditions. The dynamics of this new effect is here discu ssed and the desorption-adsorption rates are measured.
