N2 - The off-resonant ac Stark shift for coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances probed with Ramsey spectroscopy is investigated experimentally and theoretically. Measurements with laser-cooled Rb87 atoms show excellent quantitative agreement with a simple theory. The shift depends on the relative intensity of the two CPT light fields, but depends only weakly on the total intensity. Since the origin of the shift is through couplings of the interrogation light to off-resonant excited-state hyperfine levels, the size and sign of the shift depend on the specific interrogation scheme. The theory also shows that for several commonly used interrogation schemes it is possible to minimize the off-resonant light shift or its dependence on the CPT intensity ratio by properly selecting the system parameters.
