We present high-resolution spectroscopy of Iodine vapour that is loaded and
trapped within the core of a hollow-core photonic crystal fibre (HC-PCF). We
compare the observed spectroscopic features to those seen in a conventional
iodine cell and show that the saturation characteristics differ significantly.
Despite the confined geometry it was still possible to obtain sub-Doppler
features with a spectral width of ~6 MHz with very high contrast. We provide a
simple theory which closely reproduces all the key observations of the
experiment.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figure

We present high-resolution spectroscopy of I 2 vapor that is loaded and trapped within the core of a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF). We compare the observed spectroscopic features to those observed in a conventional iodine cell and show that the saturation characteristics differ significantly. Despite the confined geometry it was still possible to obtain sub-Doppler features with a spectral width of ∼ 6 MHz with very high contrast. We provide a simple theory which closely reproduces all the key observations of the experiment

We present high-resolution spectroscopy of I-2 vapor that is loaded and trapped within the core of a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF). We compare the observed spectroscopic features to those observed in a conventional iodine cell and show that the saturation characteristics differ significantly. Despite the confined geometry it was still possible to obtain sub-Doppler features with a spectral width of similar to 6 MHz with very high contrast. We provide a simple theory which closely reproduces all the key observations of the experiment. (c) 2012 Optical Society of Americ
