Measurement of dispersive properties in atomic sodium with an improved Mach-Zehnder interferometer

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik D Atoms, Molecules and Clusters

Abstract

We report the experimental results of the absorption spectra and the dispersive properties of atomic sodium in the vicinity of 589.0 nm when an additional coherent driving field at 589.6 nm is applied by using an improved Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration.
