We study resonance contrast by a two-step pulse observation method to enhance the frequency stability of coherent population trapping (CPT) atomic clocks. The proposed method is a two-step Raman–Ramsey scheme with low intensity during resonance observation and high intensity after the observation. This method reduces the frequency variation in the light intensity and maintains a high signal-to-noise ratio. The resonance characteristics were calculated by density matrix analysis of a-type three-level system that was modeled on theCs D1 line, and the characteristics were also measured using a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser and a Cs vapor cell.
