Il Nuovo Cimento B (1965-1970)

Summary

Second-order effects due to magnetic resonance of sodium atoms oriented by optical pumping have been investigated by the transversal-beam monitoring technique. An extension of Cohen-Tannoudji and Laloë theory has been developed to include these effects and its implications compared with the experimentals results.

Riassunto

Utilizzando un fascio di luce trasversale al campo magnetico statico, sono stati esaminati gli effetti del secondo ordine dovuti alla risonanza magnetica in atomi di sodio orientati per mezzo del pompaggio ottico. Per tener conto di questi effetti la teoria di Cohen-Tannoudji e Laloë è stata estesa. I risultati sperimentali sono confrontati con quelli teorici ottenendo pieno accordo.

Реэюме

С помошью мониторной техники поперечного пучка были исследованы зффекты второго порядка, обусловленные магнитным реэонансом атомов натрия, ориентированных посредством оптической накачки. Было проведено расщирение теории Кохена-Танноуджи и Лалоё, чтпбы включить зти зффекты, и ее применения сравниваются с зкспериментальными реэультатами.
