What is Influence of buffer gas on the formation of $N$-resonances in rubidium vapors about?

The $N$-resonance process is an accessible and effective method for obtaining narrow (down to subnatural linewidth), and contrasted resonances, using two continuous lasers and an Rb vapor cell. In this article, we investigate the impact of buffer gas partial pressure on the contrast and linewidth of $N$-resonances formed in the $D_1$ line of an $^{85}$Rb thermal vapor. $N$-resonances are compared to usual EIT resonances, and we highlight their advantages and disadvantages. Several rounds of measurements were performed with five vapor cells, each containing Rb and Ne buffer gas with different partial pressures (ranging from 0 to 400 Torr). This reveals the existence of an optimum Ne partial pressure that yields the best contrast, for which we provide a qualitative description. We then study the behavior of the $N$-resonance components when a transverse magnetic field is applied to the vapor cell. The frequency shift of each component is well described by theoretical calculations.
