Longitudinal spin relaxation of optically excited rubidium.

Author

John Robert Martin

Abstract

"This thesis is intended to be a guide to the theory and experimental procedures of optical pumping in one of its most usual applications. It is also intended to be an extension of the work done here by Steinbruegge¹ in 1963 along with several significant changes and improvements in experimental techniques. A study is made of the optical pumping of rubidium vapor, and results are given stating the most efficient methods with which to produce large populations of optically oriented rubidium atoms, and thereby determine the relaxation properties of a given rubidium system"-- Abstract, p. ii
