Abstract

The magnitude and sign of laser saturation resonances induced in atomic transitions with level degeneracy can be dramatically altered by the presence of optical pumping. This paper presents a detailed theoretical treatment of optical-pumping Lamb dips and crossover resonances, and their experimental observation in the 553-nm barium resonance transition. The physical principles underlying the laser optical-pumping saturation effect are also discussed.
