Skew light propagation in optically thick optical pumping cells
2002
Physical Review A. Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics
Preserved Fulltext
Circularly polarized light propagating at an angle to the external magnetic field does not optically pump atoms to full transparency under conditions common to spin-exchange optical pumping experiments. This causes excess absorption of the pumping light that can significantly reduce the efficiency of the optical pumping process even for angles of a few degrees.
