The application discloses a CPT atomic clock applied to the field of atomic frequency standards. The CPT atomic clock comprises a VCSEL, a 1 / 4 lambda wave plate, a lens and an optical cavity, wherein the VCSEL is used for generating laser required for optical pumping of the CPT atomic clock; the lens and the optical cavity are arranged between the VCSEL and the 1 / 4 lambda wave plate; the lens is arranged on the side close to the VCSEL and is used for converging the laser emitted by the VCSEL into Gaussian light; the optical cavity is arranged on the side close to the 1 / 4 lambda wave plate; and the inner surface of the cavity mirror of the optical cavity comprises a reflecting mirror and is used for adjusting the amplitudes of different frequencies in the laser signal to eliminate high-order sidebands. That is, the reflecting mirror of the optical cavity can be used for adjusting the amplitudes of different frequencies in the optical signal, eliminating the high-order sidebands, simultaneously attenuating the carrier and the +1 order (or -1 order) sideband to the same amplitude, and used for interacting with alkali atoms to generate the coherent population trapping effect, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the frequency discrimination signal can be improved.
