Abstract:
We propose and study, theoretically and experimentally, a new scheme of excitation of a coherent population trapping resonance for D1 line of alkali atoms with nuclear spin I=3/2 by bichromatic linearly polarized light (lin||lin field) at the conditions of spectral resolution of the excited state. The unique properties of this scheme result in a high contrast of dark resonance for D1 line of 87Rb.
