Abstract
In this communication we present an investigation of the influence of an alternative magnetic field (a.c.MF) on the Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) resonances obtained in Hanle configuration. A.c.MF applied parallel to the sweeping magnetic field creates side-bands of the CPT resonance 1. Their position in dependence on the a.c.MF frequency and amplitude were investigated. This phenomenon was studied for the cases of linear and circular polarized laser excitation. Coherent signal due to the hexadecapole momentum created was detected. At high amplitudes of the a.c.MF alignment to orientation conversion was recorded.
