INVESTIGATIONS OF THE OPTICAL DETECTION OF HYPERFINE RESONANCES IN ALKALI VAPORS
Abstract
The results of some free-precession experiments on the T sub 2 relaxation times of optically oriented Rb atoms contained in bulbs whose walls are coated with alkyl groups resulting from treatment with alkylchlorosilanes are presented. A 1-in.-diam cell coated with ethyl groups gave T sub 2 equals to 65 x 10 to the -3rd power sec. Digital computer investigations in progress on optical pumping dynamics under a variety of conditions of illumination and relaxation are described. Instrumentation for more detailed investigation of spin relaxation in optically oriented rubidium vapor is mentioned. (Author)
