Abstract
In the neighborhood of the atomic resonance line, light propagating through a vapor along a magnetic field is attenuated and has its plane of polarization rotated. The rotation is caused by the two components σ− and σ+ light governed by complex indices of refraction n− and n+ traveling at a different speed in the vapor.
