Abstract :
Coherent population trapping in alkali atoms has opened a new avenue in the implementation of atomic frequency standards having promising characteristics for field use. The paper reviews the state of the art in this subject and describes recent results obtained in the case of a passive Rb standard implemented using such an approach.
