We present in this paper a detailed discussion of the velocity_selective coherent population trapping of an atomic system in a nondegenerate Λ three_level configuration.Compared with the case of degenerate ground states and laser_atom resonance,the most probable value of the atomic_momentum distribution greatly decreases and much longer trapping time is needed in order to generate the same trapping effect.
