CW velocity selection by dye laser optical pumping

F. Schuda and C. R. Stroud, Jr.

Opt. Comm. 9, 14 (1973).

A technique is presented by which a thermal atomic beam of sodium was prepared with one narrow velocity component of the beam selectively pumped to a particular ground state hyperfine level, and the remainder of the velocity components pumped into another ground state level. The technique uses a single cw dye laser.
