We report on magnetic-field induced transparency (MIT) based on Ramsey electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) in a paraffin-coated Rb vapor cell. Changing the laser polarization from linear to circular in the presence of a weak residual transverse magnetic field to the laser propagation, the narrow absorption due to the Ramsey EIA transformed into the transparency due to MIT of the 5S1/2 (F = 2)-5P3/2 (F' = 3) transition of 87Rb in the paraffin-coated Rb vapor cell. The spectral widths of the EIA and MIT in the Hanle configuration were measured to be 0.6 mG (425 Hz) and 1.2 mG, respectively. MIT depended on the long preservation time of the ground-state coherent spin states and the transverse magnetic field. From the numerical results, the crossover between the Ramsey EIA and the MIT could be illustrated as the superposition of both signals.

The aim of the study was to control the release of peppermint oil (700 µL/L) by coating activated carbon (AC) contained in sachets with different solutions (tapioca starch, corn starch, gelatine, carnauba, paraffin, and mixed carnauba-paraffin) for inhibiting the growth of Aspergillus flavus on brown rice (BR). Paraffin-coated AC with adsorbed peppermint oil was then applied to extend the shelf life of BR during long-term storage (60 days) at 30 ± 2 °C. The mechanism of peppermint oil vapor release in this system was also studied using GC-MS.

With the increased radio frequency (RF) sweep rate, the traditional Lorentz signal turns to an asymmetric shape at low sweep rate and starts to oscillate at a high sweep rate. The transient oscillation's features, including frequency and the decay time, are studied by suddenly turning on the RF field to the resonance Larmor precession frequency under the different RF field and light field parameters.

Optically pumped magnetometers are becoming a promising alternative to cryogenically-cooled superconducting magnetometers for detecting and imaging biomagnetic fields. Magnetic field detection is a completely non-invasive method, which allows one to study the function of excitable human organs with a sensor placed outside the human body. For instance, magnetometers can be used to detect brain activity or to study the activity of the heart.

We report on the implementation of a pulsed optically pumped atomic clock based on a paraffin-coated cell. The relaxation times are measured, with the longitudinal relaxation time, T = 9.7 ± 0.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDynamic 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.
