Abstract :
Based on experimental investigations, a role of D2 -line\´s cyclic transitions is shown in occurrence of "zeroing" signals and noise (AAN, FM-AM) and "zeroing" points displacement in cells with wall-coating when using lamp pumping. Such a phenomenon is considered as a behaviour of Sz (0) and Sx (0) signals in the Zeeman\´s structure of the hyperfine F=I+J state for various alkali atoms (133Cs,87Rb,39K,41K). It is shown, in particular, that FM-AM conversion disappears and SNR increase at the point of zeroing the first derivative of resonance signal. It is proposed to use a zeroing point for laser\´s frequency stabilization as well as for contactless measurement and stabilization of temperature as regards the operating gas itself in the absorption cell.
