I have an external cavity diode laser source tuned to frequency 384.229 Terahertz. I am applying a ramp voltage of 1volt (peak-to-peak) to piezo so that the frequency sweeps and different hyperfine transitions of rubidium are tuned. Now I have linearly polarised this laser light and passed it through a Rubidium Cell. An analyser is placed in cross position and the output is detected though a photodiode. I am observing a nonlinear increase in intensity of the output when the ramp amplitude is increased. Please explain the phenomenon

Maybe a cyclotron resonance?
 
I believe the Rubidium cell might be very sensitive to magnetic fields.
 

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
