Abstract

In Ramsey interference of the clock transition of cold sodium atoms, we observed dephasing of the visibility, which was based on the frequency fluctuation due to the second-order Zeeman effect for inhomogeneity of the magnetic field within the atomic cloud. The frequency fluctuation was enhanced with increased strength of the quantization magnetic field, causing the dephasing of the visibility to become large. The theoretical dephasing function with frequency fluctuation was in good agreement with experimental values.
