The authors show for the first time that modern scientific computing software makes it practical to analyze the full, multilevel system of optically pumped atoms. To make the discussion less abstract, the authors have illustrated key points with sections of MATLAB codes. To make most effective use of contemporary mathematical software, it is especially useful to analyze optical pumping situations in the Liouville spaOptical pumpingChemistryElectronic books.Optical pumping.Chemistry.539.7UH 7600rvkHapper William27144Jau Yuan-Yu875562Walker Thad875563MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139501103321Optically pumped atoms1954886UNINA
