Dynamic continuous-wave spectroscopy of coherent population trapping at phase-jump modulation

A method of dynamic continuous-wave spectroscopy of coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances using phase modulation of the jump type is developed. The time evolution of the spectroscopic signal is investigated. A method for the formation of an error signal for frequency stabilization is proposed. We show that our approach has a reduced sensitivity to the lineshape asymmetry of the CPT resonance. The experimental results are in good qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions based on a mathematical model of a three-level $Λ$ system in a bichromatic field. This method can be used in atomic frequency standards (including chip-scale atomic clocks).
