A magneto-optic atomic filter with single-peaked transmission spectrum of sub-Doppler bandwidth based on the thermal Ca atomic beam is firstly experimentally demonstrated. The fast Ca dipole transition(1S0–1P1) at 422.7 nm, which matches a strong solar Fraunhofer line, was utilized. A folded ninebeam traveling wave configuration is employed, and the maximum transmission efficiency is measured to be 7.3 %.A sub-Doppler transmission bandwidth of 590 MHz, much narrower than the 2.2 GHz Doppler width in the heated atomic cell, is obtained for the first time.展开更多
