The N+CPT resonance

POSTER

Abstract

Of relevance to compact atomic frequency standards, we investigate a model of the N+CPT joint optical resonance.~ We compare analytical solutions of a 4-state theory, as well as numerical solutions of the optical Bloch equations, to experimental investigations of N+CPT resonances in 87Rb.~ Our results inform the optimization of N+CPT based frequency standards.
