Light Shift Suppression in Coherent-Population-Trapping Atomic Clocks in the Field of Two Circularly Polarized Light Beams

D. V. Brazhnikov, S. M. Ignatovich, M. N. Skvortsov

The state-of-the-art miniature atomic clocks (MACs) are based on the phenomenon of coherent population trapping (CPT) in alkali-metal atomic vapors (Rb or Cs). Increasing frequency…
