• Title: Magnetic Resonance Linewidth of Alkali-Metal Vapor in Unresolved Zeeman Resonance Regime
• Authors: Feng Tang, Nan Zhao,
• Abstract summary: We study the linewidth of alkali metal atoms in the unresolved Zeeman resonance regime. The light-narrowing effect occurs only when the ratio of the spin exchange rate to the spin destruction rate exceeds a critical value. These findings provide a theoretical tool for understanding spin relaxation in alkali-metal atoms.

• Abstract: The study of magnetic resonance linewidth is crucial in magnetic resonance physics and its applications. Previous studies focused on the linewidth of alkali metal atoms within the spin-exchange relaxation-free regime near zero magnetic field and in strong magnetic fields where Zeeman resonances are well resolved due to the quadratic Zeeman effect. However, the linewidth in the unresolved Zeeman resonance regime, which is prevalent in various magnetometer and comagnetometer applications, is not well understood. To address this, we developed a theoretical framework based on the master equation for alkali metal atoms and solved it under the rotating wave approximation and weak driving conditions. Our numerical calculations and analytical expressions reveal that the light-narrowing effect occurs only when the ratio of the spin exchange rate to the spin destruction rate exceeds a critical value. Additionally, we show that the linewidth in the unresolved Zeeman resonance regime is significantly influenced by the mutual coupling of quantum coherence between different Zeeman sublevels. These findings provide a theoretical tool for understanding spin relaxation in alkali-metal atoms and optimizing the performance of atomic magnetometers and comagnetometers operating in this regime.
