Applications of the Faraday effect in hot atomic vapours

This thesis presents both a computational and experimental investigation into light propagation in hot alkali-metal vapours, with a particular focus on utilizing the Faraday effect for practical applications. A model to calculate various spectra for a weak-probe laser beam in an atomic medium with a...
