Abstract
In our experiment conical emission (CE) has no wavelength shift and the same polarization as the original beam. Varying laser power, detuning, and atomic density, the images of CE were captured and analyzed. Typical far-field images are presented. Under the blue detuning condition, manifest CE patterns were observed, and under red detuning, original beam blurs due to not only to self-defocusing but also the conical pattern were observed. By comparing laser power and atomic density dependence of cone angle and theoretical curve, we could estimate spectroscopic data such as nonlinear refractive index. From the density dependence data, we get the fact that cone angle is proportional to atomic density which supports the self-phase-modulation (SPM) model. In conclusion, we observed and analyzed CE from near-resonant Sm vapor. With this simple setup, we could measure spectroscopic data.
