We propose a new approach to the study of coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances using a phase‐coherent bichromatic light source based on a mode‐locked femtosecond laser as an intermediate frequency coupler. The source consists of two diode lasers tuned to the rubidium D 2 line (780 nm) which are phase locked to different longitudinal modes of a femtosecond laser MIRA‐900F with 75 MHz repetition rate. Using this bichromatic source with a stable differential frequency, we excited and investigated the CPT resonances in the three‐level system 5s S 1/2 ( F = 2) ↔ 5s P 3/2 ( F = 2) ↔ 5s S 1/2 ( F = 3) of the 85 Rb atom. Potentially, this method opens up the possibility of coherently exciting Raman transitions with differential frequencies up to hundreds of terahertz. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
