Abstract

The invention relates to a coherent population trapping (CPT) phase modulation and demodulation method and a system for implementing the method of this invention. The method comprises the following steps: Generating a coherent bichromatic light, in which the relative phase between the two frequency components is modulated with proper modulation depth. The phase modulated coherent bichromatic light interacts with a quantum resonance system, and prepares it alternately into two inverted CPT states. Detecting the transmitted light with a photodetector, two inverted dispersive CPT signals in two detection windows are observed. With synchronous phase demodulation, a CPT error signal is obtained, which is used for locking the local oscillator to implement a CPT atomic clock.
