Atomic clocks and coherent population trapping: Experiments for undergraduate laboratories

Nathan Belcher, Eugeniy E. Mikhailov, Irina V. Novikova

We demonstrate how to construct and operate a simple and affordable apparatus for producing coherent effects in atomic vapor and for investigating their applications in time-keeping and magnetometry. The apparatus consists of a vertical cavity surface emitting diode laser directly current-modulated using a tunable microwave oscillator to produce multiple optical fields needed for the observation of coherent population trapping. This effect allows very accurate measurement of the transition frequency between two ground state hyperfine sublevels, which can be used to construct a coherent population trapping-based atomic clock.

Observation of CPT for the ground hyperfine interval in $^{133}$Cs

Sumanta Khan, Vineet Bharti, Vasant Natarajan A

We use the technique of coherent population trapping (CPT) to access the ground hyperfine interval (clock transition) in $^{133}$Cs. The probe and control beams required for CPT are obtained from a single compact diode laser system. The phase coherence between the beams, whose frequency difference is the clock frequency, is obtained by frequency modulating the laser with an electro-optic modulator (EOM). The EOM is fiber coupled and hence does not require alignment, and the atoms are contained in a vapor cell. Both of these should prove advantageous for potential use as atomic clocks in satellites.

An all-sapphire Cs gas cell for a chip-scale atomic clock

Yuichi Kurashima, Takashi Matsumae, Shinya Yanagimachi +2 more

Abstract We realized a Cs gas cell for a chip-scale atomic clock fabricated from single-crystal sapphire chips, which have extremely-low gas penetration coefficients. The coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance spectrum was evaluated to validate the developed sapphire Cs gas cell. A CPT resonance with a contrast of 1.5%, a frequency shift (from the Cs hyperfine transition frequency) of 55.9 kHz, and a full width at half maximum of 2.2 kHz was obtained at an incident light intensity of 40 μ W cm −2 . The frequency shift was mainly caused by the collision between Ne sealed in the gas cell and Cs atoms. From the experimental results, the pressure of Ne was estimated to be 10.7 kPa.
