TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained fast loading of a rubidium magneto-optical trap and very high collection efficiency by capturing the atoms desorbed by a light flash from a polydimethylsiloxane film deposited on the internal surface of a cell.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used coherent population trapping resonances in cesium vapor to determine DC flux densities in the range from 1 μT to 1 mT with typically 3·10−5 relative uncertainty.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of non resonant and weak light on the adsorption-desorption processes of alkali atoms on organic coated surfaces is discussed and a new phenomenon, the light induced atom desorption, is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model has been elaborated, taking into account the Doppler broadening of the transitions, the linewidth of the laser light, and the experimental conditions for observation of the fluorescence.

TL;DR: In this article, experimental data and a one-dimensional theoretical model of the light-induced desorption and diffusion of alkali-metal atoms in organic films are presented, where the potential barrier at the vapor-surface interface and the activation energy for Rb in polydimethylsiloxane have been determined.
