We present an investigation of magneto-optic rotation in both the Faraday and Voigt geometries. We show that more physical insight can be gained in a comparison of the Faraday and Voigt effects by visualising optical rotation trajectories on the Poincare sphere. This insight is applied to design and experimentally demonstrate an improved ultra-narrow optical bandpass filter based on combining optical rotation from two cascaded cells - one in the Faraday geometry and one in the Voigt geometry. Our optical filter has an equivalent noise bandwidth of 0.56 GHz, and a figure-of-merit value of 1.22(2) GHz$^{-1}$ which is higher than any previously demonstrated filter on the Rb D2 line.

Atomic bandpass filters are widely used in a variety of applications, owing to their high peak transmission and narrow bandwidth. Much of the previous literature has used the Faraday effect to realize such filters, where an axial magnetic field is ap
plied across the atomic medium. Here we show that by using a non-axial magnetic field, the performance of these filters can be improved in comparison to the Faraday geometry. We optimize the performance of these filters using a numerical model and verify their performance by direct quantitative comparison with experimental data. We find excellent agreement between experiment and theory. These optimized filters could find use in many of the areas where Faraday filters are currently used, with little modification to the optical setup, allowing for improved performance with relatively little change.
Atomic comagnetometers, which measure the spin precession frequencies of overlapped species simultaneously, are widely applied to search for exotic spin-dependent interactions. Here we propose and implement an all-optical single-species Cs atomic com
agnetometer based on the optical free induction decay (FID) signal of Cs atoms in hyperfine levels $F_g=3~&~4$ within the same atomic ensemble. We experimentally show that systematic errors induced by magnetic field gradients and laser fields are highly suppressed in the comagnetometer, but those induced by asynchronous optical pumping and drift of residual magnetic field in the shield dominate the uncertainty of the comagnetometer. With this comagnetometer system, we set the constraint on the strength of spin-gravity coupling of the proton at a level of $10^{-18}$ eV, comparable to the most stringent one. With further optimization in magnetic field stabilization and spin polarization, the systematic errors can be effectively suppressed, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be improved, promising to set more stringent constraints on spin-gravity interactions.
We present a modified scheme for detection of the magneto-optical rotation (MOR) effect, where a linearly polarized laser field is interacting with cold $^{87}$Rb atoms in an integrating sphere. The rotation angle of the probe beams polarization plan
e is detected in the experiment. The results indicate that the biased magnetic field, the probe light intensity and detuning, and the cold atoms temperature are key parameters for the MOR effect. This scheme may improve the contrast of the rotation signal and provide an useful approach for high contrast cold atom clocks and magnetometers.
Magnetically induced optical transparency (MIOT) is a technique to realize the narrow transmission spectrum in a cavity quantum electric dynamics (cavity QED) system, which is demonstrated in the recent experiment of cold 88Sr atoms in an optical cav
ity [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 263601 (2017)]. In this experiment, MIOT induces a new narrow transmission window for the probe beam, which is highly immune to the fluctuation of the cavity mode frequency. The linewidth of this transmission window approaches the decay rate of the electronic 3P1 state (about 2pi*7.5kHz) and is much less than the uncertainty of the cavity mode frequency (about 2pi*150kHz). In this work, we propose an approach to further reduce the linewidth of this MIOT-induced transmission window, with the help of two Raman beams which couples the electronic 3P1 state to the3S1state, and the3S1state to the 3P0 state, respectively. With this approach, one can reduce the transmission linewidth by orders of magnitude. Moreover, the peak value of the relative transmission power or the transmission rate of the probe beam is almost unchanged by the Raman beams. Our results are helpful for the study of precision measurement and other quantum optical processes based on cavity quantum electronic dynamics (cavity-QED).
We simultaneously trap ultracold lithium and cesium atoms in an optical dipole trap formed by the focus of a CO$_2$ laser and study the exchange of thermal energy between the gases. The cesium gas, which is optically cooled to $20 mu$K, efficiently d
ecreases the temperature of the lithium gas through sympathetic cooling. The measured cross section for thermalizing $^{133}$Cs-$^7$Li collisions is $8 times 10^{-12}$ cm$^2$, for both species in their lowest hyperfine ground state. Besides thermalization, we observe evaporation of lithium purely through elastic cesium-lithium collisions (sympathetic evaporation).
