title: [Transmission properties of Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter at 532 nm].
abstract: In this paper the properties of an excited-state potassium Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter in potassium vapor with a pump wavelength of 769.90 nm (i.e. 4S1/2-->4P1/2 transition) and a signal wavelength of 532 nm (i.e. 4P1/2-->8S1/2 transition) are calculated and discussed. The filter's transmissions versus the laser pump power and the external magnetic-field are obtained. The theoretical results show the transmission characteristics of the filter are relatively insensitive to the laser pump power and magnetic strength. The laser pump powers require range from 0.8 to 6 mW.cm-2. Our model predicts a peak transmission of 50% and an equivalent band-width of 4 GHz for the filter operating on the 4P1/2<--8S1/2 transition in potassium. The optical filter at 532 nm presented in this paper may be used to detect the practical and important frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser.
