Effect of atomic diffusion on the Raman-Ramsey CPT resonances

چکیده
We experimentally investigated the characteristics of two-photon transmission resonances in Rb vapor cells with different amount of buffer gas under the conditions of steady-state coherent population trapping (CPT) and pulsed Raman-Ramsey (RR-) CPT interrogation scheme. We particularly focused on the influence of the Rb atoms diffusing in and out of the laser beam. We showed that this effect modifies the shape of both CPT and Raman-Ramsey resonances, as well as their projected performance for CPT clock applications. In particular we found that at moderate buffer gas pressures RR-CPT did not improved the projected atomic clock stability compare to the regular steady-state CPT resonance.

Lineshape Asymmetry for joint CPT and three photon N resonances
Compiled May 22, 2008 We show that a characteristic two photon lineshape asymmetry arises in coherent population trapping (CPT ) and three photon (N ) resonances because both resonances are simultaneously induced by modulation sidebands in the interrogating laser light. The N resonance is a three-photon resonance in which a two-photon Raman excitation is combined with a resonant optical pumping...

II Abstract ABSTRACT Miniature passive atomic frequency standard based on CPT resonance has been drawing more and more attentions in the fields of GPS, underwater navigation, unmanned vehicles, etc. This work focused on improving frequency stability of the CPT atomic frequency standard, and we have mainly carried out the study through two approaches: to reduce CPT signal linewidth by combining ...
متن کاملRamsey spectroscopy of high-contrast CPT resonances with push-pull optical pumping in Cs vapor.
We report on the detection of high-contrast and narrow Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) Ramsey fringes in a Cs vapor cell using a simple-architecture laser system. The latter allows the combination of push-pull optical pumping (PPOP) and a temporal Ramsey-like pulsed interrogation. An originality of the optics package is the use of a single Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulator (MZ EOM) both f...
متن کاملDark Resonances From Optical Pumping to Cold Atoms and Molecules
Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) is a very beautiful example of quantum interference effect. It was discovered in 1976 in the group of Adriano Gozzini in Pisa [1]. “ Dark resonances” were observed in optical pumping experiments and subsequently interpreted as a quenching of fluorescence due to a destructive interference between two absorption amplitudes connecting two ground state sublevels g...
