Abstract

Polarization dependence of amplitude for resonant magnetic-field-induced coherent mixing of two collinear laser waves may be used for separating M1 and E2 contributions to n₁ ²P_1/2(3/2) - n₂ ²P_3/2(1/2) dipole-forbidden transition in atoms. The interference between E2 and Ml terms of the amplitude may cause linear polarization and circular dichroism effects. The dependencies of the two effects on the width and splitting of resonance levels, on resonance detuning, on relative directions of steady and alternating field vectors are determined. Numerical data are presented for frequency summation of two laser waves on Cs, Rb and K atoms.
