AlkaliAtom.getSaturationIntensityIsotropic(ng, lg, jg, fg, ne, le, je, fe)[source]#

Isotropic Saturation Intensity \(I_\mathrm{sat}\) for transition \(f_g\rightarrow f_e\) averaged over all polarisations in units of \(\mathrm{W}/\mathrm{m}^2\).

\(I_\mathrm{sat} = \frac{c\epsilon_0\Gamma^2\hbar^2}{4\vert \epsilon_q\cdot\mathrm{d}\vert^2}\)

Parameters
  • ng – total orbital, fine basis (total atomic) angular momentum, and projection of total angular momentum for ground state

  • lg – total orbital, fine basis (total atomic) angular momentum, and projection of total angular momentum for ground state

  • jg – total orbital, fine basis (total atomic) angular momentum, and projection of total angular momentum for ground state

  • fg – total orbital, fine basis (total atomic) angular momentum, and projection of total angular momentum for ground state

  • mfg – total orbital, fine basis (total atomic) angular momentum, and projection of total angular momentum for ground state

  • ne – total orbital, fine basis (total atomic) angular momentum,

  • le – total orbital, fine basis (total atomic) angular momentum,

  • je – total orbital, fine basis (total atomic) angular momentum,

  • fe – total orbital, fine basis (total atomic) angular momentum,

  • mfe – total orbital, fine basis (total atomic) angular momentum,

  • state (and projection of total angular momentum for excited) –
