Direct measurement of alkali vapor density by Faraday rotation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

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.
