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 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
