The hydrogen atomlike system excited by a circularly left-polarized pulse. The process designated as ${\sigma }_{+}$ is the absorption of a left-polarized photon. ${\sigma }_{-}$ is the emission of a left-polarized photon.Reuse & Permissions

(a) The scale within which the laser frequency is varied. Blue region b corresponds to the plot (b), and green regions c correspond to the plot (c). The blue stars show the exact positions of the resonances (left: ${\omega }_0={\omega }_{1s,2p^{3/2}}$, right: ${\omega }_0={\omega }_{1s,2p^{1/2}}$). (b) The final direction of the spin due to the Raman process depending on the frequency of excitation in the resonant region b. It moves counterclockwise on the plot, when ${\omega }_0$ increases. (c) The final position of the spin due to the Raman process depending on the frequency of excitation in nonresonant regions c, $xy$ plane, the plot is stretched in the $y$ direction. The initial position of the spin is shown with the bold black arrow. $\lambda =27.2$ meV.Reuse & Permissions
