以非线性Rosen-Zener隧穿理论为基础,用两分量Bose-Einstein凝聚体设计了非线性Ramsey干涉计.通过数值模拟实验在时间域上观察到了丰富的Ramsey干涉图样,凝聚体中原子间重要的非线性相互作用导致这些干涉图样明显不同于线性Ramsey干涉时的正弦型条纹.通过进一步对干涉图样作Fourier分析,发现干涉图样的基频能够精确反映系统的非线性和不对称性特征,从而为测量原子的相关性质提供了理论依据.
Taking Rosen-Zener tunneling as the underlying process, a scheme to achieve nonlinear Ramsey interferometry with a twocomponent trapped Bose-Einstein condensate is proposed. Abundant nonlinear Ramsey interference fringes are observed in time domain by the numerical simulations and these fringes are very different from the sinusoidal pattern for linear Ramsey interference due to the dominant nonlinear interaction between atoms. Furthermore, Fourier transformation results show that the fundamental frequency of Ramsey fringes can exactly reflect the information of nonlinearity or asymmetry. This finding provides an opportunity to measure atomic properties via measuring the frequency of fringes.
