Abstract:
We present an unconventional experimental approach for detecting saturated absorption spectroscopy. Using this approach, crossover peaks are displaced, leaving out peaks corresponding to an atom's natural resonant frequencies. Sensitivity of detection can also be enhanced. Consequently, the spectrum could reflect the energy structure of atoms more explicitly. Without harmful influence from crossovers, the locking range of the error signal is significantly increased and the symmetry of the dispersion line shape is perfectly preserved, so reliability of frequency stabilization can be improved.
