Coherent population trapping in a finite-size buffer-less cell
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have investigated theoretically the formation of a coherent population trapping resonance in a finite-size vapour cell without a buffer gas. We have demonstrated the novel mechanisms of the resonance narrowing: an analogue of the Dicke effect and light-induced narrowing. In the light-induced narrowing regime the parameters of the coherent population trapping resonance weakly depend on the cell size and the type of coating.

Dark-line atomic resonances in submillimeter structures.
We present measurements of dark-line resonances excited in cesium atoms confined in submillimeter cells with a buffer gas. The width and contrast of the resonances were measured for cell lengths as low as 100 microm. The measured atomic Q factors are reduced in small cells because of frequent collisions of atoms with the cell walls. However, the contrast of coherent population trapping resonanc...
متن کاملA Cold-Atom Clock Based on Coherent Population Trapping
A compact cold-atom clock based on coherent population trapping is being developed. The clock aims to ultimately achieve a timing uncertainty of a few nanoseconds per day. Here we present an initial evaluation of the three main systematic frequency shifts – the first-order Doppler shift, the light shift, and the Zeeman shift. Planned steps to reduce the size of these shifts will also be presented.
متن کاملFirst-order cancellation of the Cs clock frequency temperature-dependence in Ne-Ar buffer gas mixture.
Through the detection of Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) resonances, we demonstrate the temperature-dependence cancellation of the Cs clock frequency in microfabricated vapor cells filled with a mixture of Ne and Ar. The inversion temperature at which the Cs clock frequency temperature sensitivity is greatly reduced only depends on the partial pressure of buffer gases and is measured to be l...

We consider the coherent population trapping phenomenon in a thermal sodium atomic beam. We compare the different coherent population trapping schemes that can be established on the D 1 line using the Zeeman sublevels of a given ground hyperfine state. The coherent population trapping preparation is examined by means of a Hanle effect configuration. The efficiency of the coherent population tra...
