A 459 nm Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter (FADOF) working at the side wings of the cesium 6S_1∕2 → 7P_1∕2 transition with weak oscillator strength is achieved. The transmittance of the higher side wing reaches 98% at a temperature of 179°C and magnetic field above 323 G. The experimental results coincide with the theoretical predictions in 1982 and 1995, which were not realized in experiments for over three decades. Due to its high transmittance, high accuracy, and narrow linewidth, the 459 nm FADOF can be applied in underwater optical communications, the building of active optical clocks, and laser frequency stabilization in active optical clocks.

We demonstrate a narrowband optical filter which operates on the 52S1/2 to 52P3/2 transition at 780 nm in rubidium vapor based on optical-pumping-induced dichroism combined with Faraday anomalous dispersion effects. Its peak transmission is 18.4(2)% at the 52S1/2, F = 2 to 52P3/2, F ' = 1, 3 crossover transition, whereas at the 52S1/2, F = 2 to 52P3/2, F ' = 2, 3 crossover transition the transmission is 18.6(2)%. Both transitions have a bandwidth (full-width at half-maximum of peak transmission) as narrow as 24.5(8) MHz, which is remarkably improved compared with the narrowest bandwidth as we know. This technique can also be applied to other alkali atoms.

Population ratios between excited states are measured to build the excited state Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter (ESFADOF). We calculate these values between the excited states according to the spontaneous transition probabilities using rate equations and the measured intensities of fluorescence spectral lines of He atoms in an electrodeless discharge lamp in the visible spectral region from 350 to 730 nm. The electrodeless discharge lamp with populations in excited states can be used to realize the frequency stabilization reference of the laser frequency standard. This lamp can also build ESFADOFs for submarine communication application in the blue-green wavelength to simplify the system without the use of a pump laser.

We present a 657-nm external cavity diode laser (ECDL) system, where the output frequency is stabilized by a narrow-band high transmission interference filter. This novel diode laser system emits laser with an instantaneous linewidth of 7 kHz and a broadened linewidth of 432 kHz.
