5.1 Optical Pumping The effect of optical pumping on a molecular system depends on the characteris-tics of the pump laser, such as intensity, spectral bandwidth, and polarization, and on the linewidth and the transition probability of the absorbing transition. If the bandwidth ω L of the pump laser is larger than the linewidth ω of the molec-

The method of `optical pumping' was proposed by one of the present authors in 1950 (KASTLER [1950]) as a method to change the relative populations of Zeeman levels and of hyperfine levels of the ground state of atoms. These population changes can be monitored by the change of intensity of the light transmitted by the sample in which optical ...

Abstract. Distributed Raman amplification can be achieved by optical pumping at either end of the fiber. In the copumped Raman configuration, the pump is launched at the front end and copropagates with the optical signal along the transmission span. In the counter-pumped architecture that is widely deployed, the optical pump and signal launch ...

Optical pumping is a technique for producing spin alignment in a gas of suitable atoms. Circularly polarized light is applied at the frequency of an electronic transition from the ground state, causing transitions to an excited state. Each photon absorbed adds one quantum of angular momentum in the direction of the axis of the light beam to the ...
