| Description | Recent work with laser diodes has indicated their potential usefulness in optically pumping atomic frequency standards. Various optical pumping schemes for (87)Rb incorporating such light sources at two D1 frequencies for experimental situations of either evacuated wall-coated cells or atomic beams are considered. Numerical integration of rate equations governing the level populations with arbitrary pumping light choices of intensity, D1 hyperfine transition(s), and polarization and subsequent calculation of scattered light provide a simplified 0-0 hyperfine signal analysis. By frequency modulating one laser diode, two optical transitions were excited in an evacuated wall-coated cell and a large delta m(F) = 1 hf signal was observed. |
