EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF AC ZEEMAN EFFECT IN 87Rb ATOMIC FREQUENCY STANDARD

We have proved experimentally that the frequency shift formula of AC Zeeman effect presented by us is correct. In a 87Rb atomic frequency standard we add a new microwave field which causes the frequency shift of O-O transition frequency of 87Rb atomic ground state. This frequency shift as a function of frequency and power of the added microwave field is measured. The experimental results agree with theory.
