Abstract
We demonstrate the use of strong light fields in order to create different magnetic quantization axes for rubidium (Rb) and xenon (Xe) atoms in a gaseous mixture. A light-induced fictitious magnetic field is created by means of the Zeeman-lightshift phenomenon only for the Rb atoms by strong optical irradiation off-resonant from the D 1-line of Rb. It is demonstrated that the Zeeman precession of the Rb spin and the Xe nuclear spin occurs in different magnetic fields thus allowing to separate the quantization axes for the two atoms. This effect is used to extend the Hanle condition for the groundstate and to measure the frequency dependence of the Zeeman lightshift.
