title: Lineshapes in two-color polarization spectroscopy for cesium.
abstract: We present a theoretical study of lineshape in polarization spectroscopy for the 6S₁/₂-6P₃/₂-7S₁/₂ transition line in cesium atoms. A circularly polarized pump beam is tuned either to the lower or the upper transition line, while a linearly polarized probe beam is tuned to the other transition line. The polarization rotation of the probe beam is accurately calculated using a semi-classical density-matrix formalism taking into account all relaxation processes.
