Line shapes of coherent population trapping resonances

A. Nagel

Published Jan 1, 2001• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The line shapes of coherent population trapping resonances have been measured with high resolution and signal-to-noise ratio using a frequency-modulation technique with subsequent deconvolution of the line shapes. Simple models allow a perfect modeling of the experimental line shapes.

Modulation Transfer Spectroscopy of Coherent Population Trapping based on phase-coherent lasers

Xianghui Qi, Wenlong Chen, Lin Yi +2 more

A new source of two diode laser beams, spatially separated but optically phase-locked with each other, is used to study the modulation transfer spectroscopy of coherent population trapping resonance (CPT). The spectrum for the (87)Rb D2 line is obtained with narrow linewidth and high signal-to-noise ratio, and analyzed with different experimental parameters. A theoretical analysis of the CPT modulation transfer spectra is deduced from the density matrix equation of motion, and found to be in good agreement with the experimental results.

Dynamic Continuous-Wave Spectroscopy of Coherent Population Trapping at Phase-Jump Modulation

M. Yu. Basalaev, V.I. Yudin, A.V. Taichenachev +5 more

A method of dynamic continuous-wave spectroscopy of coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances using phase modulation of the jump type is developed. The time evolution of the spectroscopic signal is investigated. A method for the formation of an error signal for frequency stabilization is proposed. We show that our approach has a reduced sensitivity to the line-shape asymmetry of the CPT resonance. The experimental results are in good qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions based on a mathematical model of a three-level $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ system in a bichromatic field. This method can be used in atomic frequency standards (including chip-scale atomic clocks).

High-resolution coherent population trapping in sodium vapor

Coherent population trapping signals were observed in Na vapor in a simple configuration of a single laser source with a frequency-swept double-pass acousto-optic modulator. This technique enabled high-resolution hyperfine Zeeman spectroscopy of Na atoms.

Methods for reducing microwave resonance asymmetry in coherent-population-trapping based frequency standards

J.E. Berberian, Leonard S. Cutler, Miao Zhu

The paper discusses the theory of microwave resonance-line asymmetry in coherent population trapping (CPT) based frequency standards. Frequency errors caused by the asymmetry, and techniques for reducing the errors are described (patent pending).

Nonlinear-resonance line shapes: Dependence on the transverse intensity distribution of a light beam

А. В. Тайченачев, Anatolii M Tumaikin, Valeriy I. Yudin +4 more

We analyze the line shape and width of atomic coherent-population-trapping (CPT) resonances excited by laser beams with different transverse intensity profiles. A dramatic difference in the resonance line shape is found when comparing a beam with a ``steplike'' profile to a beam with a Gaussian profile. In particular, for nonuniform profiles, a non-Lorentzian functional form is given that is more appropriate for describing the nonlinear resonance line shape than is a conventional Lorentzian. Our analysis is supported by measurements of CPT line shapes in a thermal vapor of ${}^{85}\mathrm{Rb}.$
