【Abstract】 The Ramsey transition produced by interaction of 9.19 GHz microwave and cesium atoms has been realized with cold atomic fountain at the National Institute of Metrology for the first time in China. With 74 cm fountain, the FWHM of the central Ramsey fringe is about 0.95 Hz with S/N～40. The principle and the part of NIM4# fountain clock, related to the microwaveatom interaction, the detection and signal process, performed under the control of the timesequence system, is reported. The experimental widths of the Ramsey central fringes and the Rabi pedestals agreed well with their theoretical predictions.更多还原
