Description:
Author(s): J. M. Dreiling, E. B. Norrgard, D. Tupa, and T. J. Gay We have developed a simple heuristic method for determining the polarization of an optically pumped alkali-metal vapor. A linearly polarized probe beam traverses a vapor cell perpendicular to the pump-beam propagation direction, and the transmitted beam intensity is monitored for orthogonal linear p... [Phys. Rev.
