Article Description

We study the selective reflection of the laser beam from rubidium atomic vapor at the D line (wavelength λ = 780 nm) at different atomic densities. We use a tunable free-running diode laser. We observed a measurable signal at a low atomic density N when the mean distance between resonance atoms reached two wavelengths. In our experiment, the dimensionless parameter Nλ varied from 0.5 to 2.8. The reflectivity increased with density monotonically. It is interesting to perform experiments when the parameter Nλ ≪ 1. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
