The effect of coherent population trapping in the resonance 1{yields}0 system submitted to a saturating field of the elliptically polarized wave is theoretically studied using the irreducible tensor-operator technique. Exact analytic expressions for the field-induced high-order multipolar moment (orientation, alignment) are obtained, and it is shown that both nonuniform population and Zeeman coherence arise for the magnetic sublevels of the system. Numerical estimates are given and the conditions are revealed under which the effect of coherent population trapping occurs in the system. 21 refs.
