Abstract

Optical pumping1 of alkali vapors by circularly polarized low-intensity laser light causes a variety of astonishing nonlinear effects, such as the formation of slow-moving steep longitudinal intensity gradients (pumping-light fronts),2 mutual extinction of circularly polarized laser beams (beam switching),3 deflection of copropagating beams (beam bouncing),4 highly structured polarization and intensity patterns,5 asymmetry of absorption profiles,6 and beam splitting.7
