Pumping light intensity transmitted through an inhomogeneously broadened line system: application to passive rubidium frequency standards

Pierre Tremblay, Normand Cyr, M. Têtu

This paper presents a theoretical evaluation of the pumping light intensity transmitted through an inhomogeneously broadened line system submitted to a coherent microwave excitation. A model is developed for the case of rubidium 87 atoms interacting with a buffer gas and optically pumped by all components of the D1 and D2 lines. The light generated by an electrodeless lamp is considered incoherent and the coherent signal is produced in a microwave cavity. The spatial distribution of the light intensity transmitted through the absorption cell is shown to be related to the microwave magnetic-field axial-component distribution. Then the resonance curve obtained with a photodetector is a function of its shape and location. When applied to the case of a passive rubidium frequency standard, this model allows the calculation of the ultimate short-term frequency stability of the device.

Analysis of the light shift effect in the /sup 87/Rb frequency standard

F. Levi, Carlo Novero, A. Godone

The /sup 87/Rb cell frequency standard, optically pumped by a laser diode, is of great interest in the development of high short-term stability oscillators. We report experiments performed on a rubidium cell prototype aiming at evaluate the transfer of the laser noise to the hyperfine clock transition via the light shift effect, which appears to be the main contribution to the observed short term frequency stability in this kind of standard. Pulsed optical pumping will also be examined in order to strongly reduce the light shift effect and to achieve the theoretical limit never approached up to now despite the strong detected microwave signals.
