Fine-structure changing collisions in 87 Rb upon D 2 excitation in the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime (2024)
Journal Article
Higgins, C. R., Pizzey, D., & Hughes, I. G. (2024). Fine-structure changing collisions in 87 Rb upon D 2 excitation in the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 57(23), Article 235002. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6455/ad8ab0

We investigate fine structure changing collisions in 87Rb vapour upon D2 excitation in a thermal vapour at 75 ∘C; the atoms are placed in a 0.6 T axial magnetic field in order to gain access to the hyperfine Pashen-Back regime. Following optical exci... Read More about Fine-structure changing collisions in 87 Rb upon D 2 excitation in the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime.

Electromagnetically induced transparency in a V-system with 87Rb vapor in the hyperfine Paschen–Back regime (2021)
Journal Article
Higgins, C. R., & Hughes, I. G. (2021). Electromagnetically induced transparency in a V-system with 87Rb vapor in the hyperfine Paschen–Back regime. Optics Letters, 54(16), Article 165403. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6455/ac20be

We observe electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a V-system in a thermal rubidium-87 vapour in the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime, realised with a 0.6 T axial magnetic field. In this regime energy levels are no longer degenerate and EIT fe... Read More about Electromagnetically induced transparency in a V-system with 87Rb vapor in the hyperfine Paschen–Back regime.

Atomic line vs. lens cavity filters: A comparison of their merits (2020)
Journal Article
Higgins, C. R., Pizzey, D., Mathew, R. S., & Hughes, I. G. (2020). Atomic line vs. lens cavity filters: A comparison of their merits. OSA continuum, 3(4), 961-970. https://doi.org/10.1364/osac.390604

We present a comparison between lens cavity filters and atomic line filters, discussing their relative merits for applications in quantum optics. We describe the design, characterization, and stabilization procedure of a lens cavity filter, which con... Read More about Atomic line vs. lens cavity filters: A comparison of their merits.
