摘要:
We have observed the Doppler‐free dichroism and birefringence induced by a linearly polarized laser beam (pump beam) by monitoring the polarization and amplitude changes of a weak probe beam through an analyzer. The effects have been observed in two‐level systems and also in three‐level systems of Ne I. At rather low pump power, a typical refractive‐index anisotropy of 10−8has been measured. We have shown that, when the normal resonance curve exhibits a broad background due to collisions, our method allows the elimination of this background. In addition, using a rotating analyzer, we have obtained simultaneously the dichroism and birefringence curves, i.e., the imaginary and real part of the anisotropic‐induced susceptibility.
