Spin polarization of 87Rb atoms with Xe gas and high-pressure buffer gas in a cubic cell

We simulated the optical pumping rate of 87Rb atoms with Xe and high-pressure buffer gas in a cubic cell. We calculated absorption cross-section as a function of pumping laser frequency by considering a pressure and Doppler broadening as gas temperature varies from 364 K to 414 K. In a steady state the spin polarization and the atomic population of 87Rb atoms were obtained by optical pumping in each ground state. We calculated the optimum beam waist, linewidth and detuning of pumping beam to achieve higher population of polarized atoms at cell parameters such as temperature, size. We simulated that the optimum beam waist is 0.3 times of cubic cell length at 250 Torr of di-nitrogen and 50 Torr of Xe gas pressure. The optimum laser beam linewidth parabolically increases with increasing the temperature in range of few ten kelvin and it exponentially decrease with increasing the cubic cell length. We also observed that few ten GHz detuned laser frequency increases the optical pumping rate. These numerical results show appropriate experimental parameter as a function of cell temperature and size to get maximum population of spin polarized atoms in given temperature range.We simulated the optical pumping rate of 87Rb atoms with Xe and high-pressure buffer gas in a cubic cell.
