Rubidium Transition Probabilities for Optical Pumping
W. Bruce Hawkins · Physical Review · 1969
Optical transition probabilities between the several magnetic sublevels of the ${\mathrm{Rb}}^{85}$ ground state via the first excited state are given separately for the two fine-structure components. Graphs of the populations of the states are presented as a function of the time the atoms are illuminated by circularly polarized resonance radiation.
