Transit Ramsey EIT resonances in a Rb vacuum cell
arXiv:1807.10370 · doi:10.1364/JOSAB.36.000890
Abstract
We investigate a dual-channel arrangement for electromagnetically-induced transparency in a vacuum Rb vapor cell, and report the observation of a transient spectral feature due to the atoms traversing both beams while preserving their ground-state spin coherence. Despite a relatively small fraction of atoms participating in this process, their contribution to the overall lineshape is not negligible. By adjusting the path difference between the two optical beams, the differential intensity measurement can produce an error signal for the microwave frequency stabilization as strong as a single-channel measurement, but it provides a much higher signal-to-noise ratio due to the cancellation of intensity noise, dominating the signal channel detection.
