Summary

Description
English: Plot of a Ramsey-fringe pattern (as used in atomic clocks) of an ideal monochromatic atom beam with a free evolution time T vs. pulse duration τ ratio of T/τ=8. The relative detuning (ωω0)/Ω0 is plotted in the interval [-5, 5]. More on the underlying theory can be found in [1].
