Rev. Mod. Phys. 44, 169–249 (1972)Optical Pumping
Optical pumping of ground-state and metastable atoms and ions is reviewed. We present a critical survey of the literature on pumping mechanisms, light propagation, relaxation mechanisms, spin exchange, and experimental details on the various atomic species which have been successfully pumped. © 1972 The American Physical Society URL:
