摘要
Transmission spectroscopy in an ultrathin vapor cell, which has been recently demonstrated as a new method of sub-Doppler spectroscopy in the optical domain, is revisited. We show that, because of an unavoidable Fabry-Perot effect, the observed signal-in transmission spectroscopy and selective reflection spectroscopy as well-is actually an interferometric mixture of the optical responses as provided in transmission and in reflection by a long macroscopic cell. After the derivation of a very general solution, we restrict ourselves to the case of a linear interaction with the resonant laser. We finally discuss the application to a two-level atom for which analytical expressions are given, in the large Doppler limit, for FM transmission and reflection signals.
