Abstract

Absorption and dispersion signals of D₂ lines of rubidium atoms in a vapor cell have been experimentally investigated with the modulation transfer spectrum (MTS). Normal dispersion was observed at the transitions of F_g →F_e =F_g -1 and F_g →F_e =F_g ; anomalous dispersion, at transitions of F_g →F_e =F_g +1; and crossover resonance, by the transitions of F_g →F_e =F_g -1 and F_g →F_e =F_g . The signal lineshape of the MTS and the detector phase are addressed accurately.
