Optimization of atomic Faraday filters in the presence of homogeneous line broadening (2015)
Journal Article
Zentile, M. A., Mathew, R. S., Whiting, D. J., Keaveney, J., Adams, C. S., & Hughes, I. G. (2015). Optimization of atomic Faraday filters in the presence of homogeneous line broadening. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 48(18), Article 185001. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/48/18/185001

We show that homogeneous line broadening drastically affects the performance of atomic Faraday filters. We study the effects of cell length and find that the behaviour of 'line-centre' filters are quite different from 'wing-type' filters, where the e...

ElecSus: A program to calculate the electric susceptibility of an atomic ensemble (2014)
Journal Article
Zentile, M., Keaveney, J., Weller, L., Whiting, D., Adams, C., & Hughes, I. (2015). ElecSus: A program to calculate the electric susceptibility of an atomic ensemble. Computer Physics Communications, 189, 162-174. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2014.11.023

We present a computer program and underlying model to calculate the electric susceptibility of a gas, which is essential to predict its absorptive and dispersive properties. Our program focuses on alkali-metal vapours where we use a matrix representa... Read More about ElecSus: A program to calculate the electric susceptibility of an atomic ensemble.

The hyperfine Paschen-Back Faraday effect (2014)
Journal Article
Zentile, M. A., Andrews, R., Weller, L., Knappe, S., Adams, C. S., & Hughes, I. G. (2014). The hyperfine Paschen-Back Faraday effect. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 47(7), Article 075005. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/47/7/075005

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the Faraday effect in an atomic medium in the hyperfine Paschen–Back regime, where the Zeeman interaction is larger than the hyperfine splitting. We use a small permanent magnet and a micro-fabricated v... Read More about The hyperfine Paschen-Back Faraday effect.
