Abstract

The interference fringes of an atomic Ramsey interferometer may be narrowed if the two separated fields have different frequencies and their phase difference is controlled. For spatially separated fields, their width depends inversely on the free flight time of ground state atoms before entering the first field region in addition to the time between the fields. The narrowing effect is stable with respect to velocity fluctuations and for realistic mode functions. We also show that systematic phase shifts and phase fluctuations do not aggravate the frequency offset of the standard (one-frequency) Ramsey method.
