Estimation of the light shift in Ramsey-coherent population trapping

Abstract

We both numerically and analytically investigate on the light shift in Ramsey-CPT resonance for compact atomic clocks. The numerical calculation of the light shift is based on a density matrix analysis in Λ-type three state model. And the analytical method leads to an estimation equation of light shift in the Raman-Ramsey scheme. The estimation equation expresses the relationship between light shift and all pulse parameters. The results show that the estimation equation was reproduced well as the numerical results.
