Pump/Probe Angular Dependence of Hanle Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
POSTER
Abstract
We investigate the dependence of Hanle Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) on angular separation between pump and probe field propagation directions in room-temperature Rb vapor. We observe the FWHM of the probe transmission spectrum and the amplitude of the EIT signal while varying the angular separation from 0 to 1 milliradian. Following the work of M. Shuker, O. Firstenberg, R. Pugatch, A. Ben-Kish, A. Ron, and N. Davidson, Phys. Rev. A 76, 023813 (2007), we examine potential applications in information storage and retrieval.
