8 . 3 Performance of a Microwave Clock Based on a Laser Induced Stimulated Raman Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our technique is based on moving a glass plate of known index and dispersion back and forth inside a ring resonator. In this way, any nonreciprocal phase shift induced by the motion of the glass manifests itself as a difference in the resonance frequencies of the cavity for oppositely propagating field directions. The precision measurement of small resonance frequency differences in a ring cavity is described in detail elsewhere in connection with the measurement of nonreciprocal phase shift due to the Sagnac effect. 1

Influence of atomic recoil on the spectrum of resonance fluorescence from a two-level atom.
We have continued our precision studies of laser induced stimulated resonance Raman interactions in a sodium atomic beam with emphasis on Ramsey's method of separated oscillatory fields. We observed Raman-Ramsey fringes for a field separation of up to 30 cm, and the data were consistent with theoretical predictions. We have also been investigating the performance of a clock based on this intera...
متن کاملDark-state-based three-element vector model for the stimulated Raman interaction
In this paper we develop a three-element vector model to describe the stimulated Raman interaction in a L system. This model is valid over the range of interaction energies for which the excited state follows the ground states adiabatically. We use the model to present simple physical interpretations of the generation of Raman-Ramsey fringes in a separated field excitation, the ac Stark shift i...
متن کاملMeasuring a coherent superposition
Atoms and molecules prepared in well-defined coherent superpositions of energy states exhibit many interesting properties, such as dark resonances [1], subrecoil laser cooling [2–5], electromagnetically induced transparency [6–8], radiation amplification without population inversion [9–12], refractive index enhancement without absorption [13], and enhanced harmonic generation [14,15]. Coherent ...

Laser micro-Raman spectroscopy is an ideal tool for assessment and characterization of various types of carbon-based materials. Due to its special optical properties (CrN) coated stainless steel substrates. NCD films have been investigated by laser micro-Raman spectroscopy. The fingerprint of diamond based materials is in the spectral region of 1000-1600 cm-1 in the first order of Raman scatter...
متن کاملSemiconductor laser excitation of Ramsey fringes by using a Raman transition in a cesium atomic beam
Recently there has been interest in the use of the laser slowed and trapped atoms for the development of high-accuracy atomic clocks.'` For slow-atom clocks, employing separated field excitation, the use of a Raman transition may have advantages over direct microwave excitation.4 6 This is because the two-zone Raman interaction has the demonstrated ability to reverse the sign of the ac Stark sh...
