Atomic clocks based on coherent population trapping and constructive polarization modulation are promising for high performance and compact devices. We have demonstrated a cw mode CPT clock with a short-term fractional frequency stability at the level of 3. \pmb2×10-13/√{τ} for a few 100 s integration time. This Double-Modulation CPT technology can be reduced to a miniature and robust setup due to its linear architecture. This clock could find future applications in industry, telecommunications, instrumentation, or global navigation satellite systems.
