摘要
We analyse the influence of an inhomogenous microwave field on the coherence of atom ensembles. Two methods are proposed to suppress the dephasing generated by the inhomogenous Rabi frequency. One of them is realized by using a spin echo, and the other one is based on the identical spin rotation effect. The calculation results show that the contrast of a signal acquired in experiment can be improved by using the two methods. Their advantages and drawbacks are discussed. We hope they can be used to improve the contrast of experimental signals in situations where microwave fields are very inhomogenous. Finally, we discuss the case of a continuous working microwave field and show that the dipole force raised with the inhomogeneitv can be eased by slain flip.
