We show that the effective decay rate of Zeeman coherence, generated in a (87)Rb vapor by linearly polarized laser light, increases significantly with the atomic density. We explain this phenomenon as the result of radiation trapping. Our study shows that radiation trapping must be taken into account to fully understand many electromagnetically induced transparency experiments with optically thick media.
我们表明，由线偏振激光在（87）Rb 蒸汽中产生的塞曼相干的有效衰减率会随着原子密度的增加而显著增大。我们将此现象解释为辐射俘获的结果。我们的研究表明，要全面理解许多针对光学厚介质的电磁诱导透明实验，必须考虑辐射俘获。
