Abstract
AbstractThe features of fluorescence and transmission signals in optical pumping of dilute gases with non‐coherent light sources are discussed in terms of a generalized signal function. Using the spherical tensor operator formalism kinetic equations for the atomic state multipoles as well as rate equations for spontaneous emission and absorption are derived. In these rate equations the kinetics of the atomic system expressed by the, generally, time dependent state multipoles of the atomic distribution in the ground or excited state is weighted by the optical signal parameters to give a signal function, which is explicitly adapted to the experimental conditions of observation.
