论文摘要
使用亚稳态贵气体原子的广泛应用导致了多种产生大稳态密度的不同方法。在这里，我们研究了一种最近提出的混合方法，该方法将RF放电技术与Xenon的辅助状态相结合。我们研究了Xenon压力对通过RF排放在辅助状态和亚稳态状态建立初始种群的影响，以及光泵束功率在各州之间传递种群中的作用。我们发现实验条件可以最大化效果，并为产生相对较大的长期亚稳态密度提供了强大的平台。
The wide range of applications using metastable noble gas atoms has led to a number of different approaches for producing large metastable state densities. Here we investigate a recently proposed hybrid approach that combines RF discharge techniques with optical pumping from an auxiliary state in xenon. We study the effect of xenon pressure on establishing initial population in both the auxiliary state and metastable state via the RF discharge, and the role of the optical pumping beam power in transferring population between the states. We find experimental conditions that maximize the effects, and provide a robust platform for producing relatively large long-term metastable state densities.
