This article is designed as a step-by-step guide to optically pumped magnetometers based
on alkali atomic vapor cells. We begin with a general introduction to atomic magneto-optical …

In this Letter, we show that it is possible to structure the longitudinal polarization component
of light. We illustrate our approach by demonstrating linked and knotted longitudinal vortex …

We have investigated electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the spectrum of
selective reflection at the interface between Rb atomic vapor and a dielectric nanocell …

We present a method for recovery of narrow homogeneous spectral features out of a broad
inhomogeneous overlapped profile based on second-derivative processing of the …

Atom-light interactions in micro-and nanoscale systems hold great promise for alternative
technologies based on integrated emitters and optical modes. We present the design …

We present a major update to ElecSus, a computer program and underlying model to
calculate the electric susceptibility of an alkali-metal atomic vapour. Knowledge of the …

To reliably register the absorption or selective reflection of laser radiation in a nanocell filled
with a vapor of Cesium or Rubidium at thicknesses below 100 nm, it becomes necessary to …

We present an experimental study of seeded four-wave mixing (4WM) using a diamond
excitation scheme (with states from the 5 S 1/2, 5 P 1/2, 5 P 3/2 and 5 D 3/2 terms) in a …

By measuring the transmission of near-resonant light through an atomic vapor confined in a
nanocell we demonstrate a mesoscopic optical response arising from the nonlocality …

We demonstrate a method for measuring atom-surface interactions using transmission
spectroscopy of thermal vapors confined in a wedged nanocell. The wedged shape of the …
