摘要: Pump-probe spectra of cesium (Cs) D2 line are experimentally investigated in a Cs atomic vapor cell with co-propagating orthogonal linearly-polarized pump and probe laser beams. Absorption-reduction dips duo to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in multi-Λ-type Zeeman sublevels of 6 S1/2 F=3 – 6 P3/2 F’=2 hyperfine transition and absorption-enhanced peaks due to electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) in 6 S1/2 F=4 – 6 P3/2 F’=5 hyperfine transition are demonstrated. With detuned pump beam abnormal sign-reversed signals inside the EIT dip and the EIA peak are clearly observed.

Abstract: Pump-probe spectra of cesium (Cs) D2 line are experimentally investigated in a Cs atomic vapor cell with co-propagating orthogonal linearly-polarized pump and probe laser beams. Absorption-reduction dips duo to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in multi-$\Lambda$-type Zeeman sublevels of 6 S1/2 F=3 – 6 P3/2 F’=2 hyperfine transition and absorption-enhanced peaks due to electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) in 6 S1/2 F=4 – 6 P3/2 F’=5 hyperfine transition are demonstrated. With detuned pump beam abnormal sign-reversed signals inside the EIT dip and the EIA peak are clearly observed.

Key words: pump-probe spectroscopy, caesium atoms, atomic coherence, electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA)
