Résumé

The results of detailed experimental and theoretical investigations of new nonlinear effect in the field of saturated-absorption spectroscopy of atom vapours are presented. The effect consists in observation of a high-contrast natural-linewidth absorption spike when Cs-133 atoms are being irradiated by the bichromatic counterpropagating laser beams. The results obtained can be useful in various fields of modern laser physics and applications where saturated-absorption resonances are used. For instance, the effect has been already implemented in the coherent-population-trapping atom clocks to enhance stabilization of optical frequencies and to improve stability of the clocks on the whole.
