We present a Ramsey-type atom interferometer operating with an optically trapped sample of 10^6 Bose-condensed Rb-87 atoms. The optical trap allows us to couple the |F =1, mF =0>\rightarrow |F =2, mF =0> clock states using a single photon…

The coherent population trapping (CPT) effect is used for making compact atomic clocks. There are two types of CPT clocks: the one in which the Raman beams are applied continuously and the one in which two CPT pulses separated by a dark…

We analyze the properties of a pulsed Coherent Population Trapping protocol that uses a controlled decay from the excited state in a $\Lambda$-level scheme. We study this problem analytically and numerically and find regimes where narrow…
