Abstract
Subkilohertz spectroscopy by coherent population trapping (CPT) has been performed in Na atomic vapor. The system employs a frequency-swept acousto-optic modulator for bichromatic excitation as well as a heterodyne–lock-in detection technique that permits the direct measurement of the CPT dispersion curves at a good signal-to-noise ratio. A CPT linewidth of ~400Hz was measured as well as a steep refractive-index dispersion of as much as 3.3×10-10Hz -1, corresponding to a group velocity of 1800 m/s.
