Sublevel detuning

Fig. 6. Measured Raman heterodyne signals of the detection beam as a function of sublevel detuning An for different laser detunings A /2-n, showing narrow interference patterns.

Fig. 7.Calculated Raman heterodyne signals of the detection beam showing Ramsey-type resonance line shapes. The sublevel detuning is normalized to the ground state relaxation rate Yg and the laser detuning is given in units of the Doppler width cte.Yvcc < notes the rate of velocity changing collisions.
