Hybrid optical pumping of K and Rb atoms in a paraffin coated vapor cell

Dynamic hybrid optical pumping effects with a radio-frequency field-driven nonlinear magneto-optical rotation scheme are studied in a dual-species paraffin coated vapor cell. By pumping K atoms and probing Rb87 atoms, we achieve an intrinsic magnetic resonance linewidth of 3 Hz, and the observed resonance is immune to power broadening and light-shift effects. Such an operation scheme shows favorable prospects for atomic magnetometry applications.
