Open system CPT with spatially separated pump and probe beams
2008
We calculated line-shapes of the coherent population trapping (CPT) for the open transition in 87 Rb by solving
time-dependent optical Bloch equations and averaging results for the total excited state populations over
atomic trajectories and velocities, while taking into account incident angles to the laser beam. Comparison with
experiment produces good agreement for the laser intensity dependence of the CPT line-widths when the laser
transverse beam profile is Gaussian. This theoretical model was used to calculate the probe laser CPT in the
case of spatially separated pump beam. The probe beam is placed inside the cylindrically-shaped pump beam.
The calculations as well as measurements show narrowing of the Hanle resonance due to Ramsey effect.
