ResumoA non-perturbative theoretical analysis of Ramsey interference lineshapes in three-level lambda systems excited by laser fields has been developed for the general case of several interaction regions. In conventional Ramsey excitation, two laser fields excite the lambda system each in two separate spatial interaction regions. Here we examine how increasing the number of interaction regions or altering the interaction times change and improve the lineshape characteristics such as fringe visibility. For short interaction times the fringe pattern is strongly dependent on the number of interaction regions, with the n = 2 sinusoidal fringes replaced by sharper fringes of greater visibility. With larger interaction times, the fringe pattern is virtually unchanged on increasing the number of interaction regions. The optimum fringe pattern is obtained with short interaction times and a larger (n a 9) number of regions.
