Numerical analysis of the optical pumping process coupled with 23Na D2 manifold modeled as a partially resolved hyperfine structure
All magnetometers using alkali atoms rely on the monochromatic light driving the optical pumping process in the D1 or D2 line to create spin-polarized atoms. In the study of a sodium (Na) magnetometer, we find that 23Na exhibits the same hyperfine structure as exhibited by the 87Rb atom but differs...
