COLLISION-INDUCED ECHO AT THE ELLIPTICAL POLARIZATION OF EXCITATION PULSES
Abstract
induced photon echo formed on the transition with the angular momentum change
0↔1 in ytterbium vapor by the two excitation pulses with mutually orthogonal elliptical
polarizations are obtained. It is shown that the intensity of the collision-induced photon
echo signal becomes zero in case of mutually orthogonal circular polarizations of laser
excitation pulses and it obtains its maximum value in case of their mutually perpendicular
linear polarizations.
All the temporal and polarization properties of collision-induced photon echo are obtained
in the framework of the model of the atomic elastic depolarizing collisions.
