Abstract We propose a new application of the optical adiabatic passage effect for the excitation of a thermal atomic beam, which will be used in the calcium active optical clock to produce population inversion. A comparison between the optical adiabatic passage effect and the Rabi π pulse is investigated, 99% of the calcium atoms in the atomic beam that has a wide velocity distribution will be excited to the upper state for population inversion using the adiabatic passage, while 76% at most will be excited to the excited state using the π pulse with suitable parameters.
