Preparation and experimental characterisation of coherent superposition states of two degenerate levels — •Manfred Heinz, Frank Vewinger, Christian Barthel, and Klaas Bergmann — FB Physik, TU Kaiserslautern, 67663 Kaiserslautern

We report on the preparation of superposition states of two or more degenerate levels in a J=2 metastable state of Neon. In particular, we demonstrate a method for the measurement of the relative phase between the states. The superposition state can either be prepared between the magnetic sublevels M=+1 and M=−1 by using the tripod STIRAP scheme [1,2] or between the sublevels M=0 and M=±2 by the use of twin STIRAP. The relative phases of all the superposition states can be measured by coherently coupling the levels 3P23P1 by a linearly polarized laser, followed by a detection of the population in the 3P2(m=±2) states as a function of the polarization angle of that laser [3].
