Abstract

We report on a comparative study on the light shift in two possible clock schemes for vapor-cell standards, Double Resonance (DR) and Coherent Population Trapping (CPT), by using the same wall coated cell and compact atomic resonator. Our experimental setup allowed us to measure and study the AC Stark shift, resulting from a mono-chromatic or a non monochromatic optical excitation. The light-shift was investigated as function of the laser intensity and the laser frequency.
