Show affiliationsAdiabatic passage with optical pulses has been used as an efficient tool for the transfer of atomic populations between Zeeman sublevels. The composition of the final state after adiabatic passage is investigated in the context of applications to atomic fountain frequency standards. Theoretical and experimental studies on the influence of the purity of the initial state on the result of the transfer are presented. Similarly, the role of the quality of polarization of the laser pulses in the process of adiabatic passage is discussed.
