Abstract

We present a brief review of the rapidly growing field of autobalanced Ramsey spectroscopy followed by a detailed discussion and review of two novel techniques that were developed and tested in our laboratory: displaced frequency-jump Ramsey spectroscopy and combined error signal spectroscopy. These two techniques are related to, yet different from autobalanced Ramsey spectroscopy. The use of these techniques in a cold-atom clock based on coherent population trapping has reduced instabilities from variations in light-shift parameters by at least an order of magnitude. All of these techniques have in common that the Ramsey sequence adapts to cancel light shifts and drifts.
