Abstract

The frequency pulling effect in an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) due to the high dispersion produced by coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance in an intraloop ${}^{85}\mathrm{Rb}$ cell has been experimentally measured. With the direct modulation of the injection current of an extended-cavity diode laser, we construct the OEO and a beating signal with a frequency of 3.036 GHz is filtered by CPT resonance. The effective total loop length of the OEO under the CPT resonance condition can be significantly increased. As the optical path length of the OEO is changed, the microwave-frequency shift of the OEO corresponding to the effective total loop length is measured and reported.
