A nanocell filled with atomic vapors of rubidium and potassium was used to develop a modified method of Faraday rotation. The formed lines are characterized by a spectral width that is a factor of 1.5‒2 smaller than those obtained by traditional method of Faraday rotation in nanocells. The new method allows obtaining the spectral width of atomic line that is 8 times smaller than the Doppler broadening in the case of the D _2 line of rubidium and 15 time smaller than the Doppler broadening in the case of the D _1,2 lines of potassium. In magnetic fields B = 100−1200 G, all atomic lines of Rb and K atoms are spectrally resolved and identified. In the case of the D _2 line of Rb, it is demonstrated that the probabilities of magneto-induced transitions (^87Rb, F _ g = 1 → F _ e = 3 and ^85Rb, F _ g = 2 → F _ e = 4) can exceed the probabilities of the allowed transitions. Convenience and efficiency of the modified method of Faraday rotation for high-resolution spectroscopy is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
