Laser frequency stabilization via bichromaticDoppler-free spectroscopy of 87Rb D1 line
2021
We demonstrate a bichromatic Doppler-free spectroscopy of an
87RbD1 line by using a
dual-frequency, counterpropagating laser field with orthogonal linear
polarizations. A reversed Doppler-free resonance dip is observed in the
dual-frequency scheme, and a significant improvement of frequency
discrimination curve is acquired due to the coherent population trapping
(CPT) effect. The influence of the static magnetic field and laser
intensity on the spectroscopy is studied in both single- and
dual-frequency schemes. After locking the laser frequency to the
87RbD1 line in the
dual-frequency stabilization scheme, the beat note fractional frequency
stability is at the level of 7×10−12 at 1 s integration time.
This technique can be used in various applications, such as CPT atomic
clocks, laser spectroscopy, quantum optics, and laser-cooling
experiments.
