26. Since there are two polarization degrees of freedom, the cavity modes occur in nearly degenerate pairs.

31. The FORT-Raman pair generates a Raman coupling between the hyperfine ground states that is proportional to J (F × R), where J is the electron angular momentum operator and F, R are the polarization vectors for the FORT and Raman beams, so in general Δm=±1,0 transitions are possible. For our system F × R = z, so only the Δm=0 transitions are driven.
32. The FORT and Raman beams give level shifts UF ∼ ΩF2 /Δ and UR ∼ ΩR2 /Δ, and the effective Rabi frequency for the Raman transitions driven by the FORT-Raman pair is ΩE ∼ ΩF ΩR /Δ, where ΩF,R are the Rabi frequencies of the FORT and Raman beams, and Δ is the detuning from atomic resonance. Thus, the ratio of the level shifts is UR / UF ∼ (ΩE / UF) 2 ∼ 10-5 for the typical values UF = (2π) (45 MHz), ΩE = (2π) (120 kHz).
