Optical pumping rates in an alkali vapour in the presence of a buffer gas

摘要: General equations are derived for the computation of 〈Fz〉 in an alkali vapour submitted to optical pumping withD1 orD2 line, absorption cell without wall coating and with a buffer gas. Extensive numerical computations have been performed view ascertaining relative importance relevant parameters, some conclusions drawn about possible uses study excited state collisional mixing construction polarized targets.
