We present here a Zeeman shift of the Doppler-broadened cesium D2 transition using a tapered optical nanofiber in the presence of a magnetic field. When a weak magnetic field is parallel to the propagating light in the nanofiber, the Zeeman shift rates for different circularly polarized spectra are observed.For the ＋component, the typical linear Zeeman shift rates of = 3 and = 4 ground-state cesium atoms are measured to be 3.10（±0.19） MHz/G and 3.91（±0.16） MHz/G. For the -component, the values are measured to be-2.81（±0.25） MHz/G, and-0.78（±0.28） MHz/G. The Zeeman shift using the tapered nanofiber can help to develop magnetometers to measure the magnetic field at the narrow local region and the dispersive signal to lock laser frequency.展开更多

In this paper, we study the ladder-type electromagnetically induced transparent(EIT) under ultralow power level in a warm cesium vapor by observing the transmission of ONF that couples the 6 S → 6 P Cs atoms in the presence of a 6 P → 8 S control beam through the same fiber. The linewidth and transmission of the EIT signal are investigated at different intensities of the control laser. In addition, we theoretically study the nonlinear interaction at the ONF interface using the multi-level density matrix equations, and obtain good agreements between theory and experiments. The results may have great significance for further study of optical nonlinear effect at low power level.展开更多
