We report the experimental measurement of Ramsey interference fringes in the single-photon excitation to a high-lying bound state of atomic argon by pairs of phase-locked, time-delayed, extreme UV high-order harmonic pulses at 87 nm. High-visibility Ramsey fringes are observed for delays larger than 100 ps, thus demonstrating a potential resolving power >10^5 at this wavelength.

Abstract

We report the experimental measurement of Ramsey interference fringes in the single-photon excitation to a high-lying bound state of atomic argon by pairs of phase-locked, time-delayed, extreme UV high-order harmonic pulses at 87 nm. High-visibility Ramsey fringes are observed for delays larger than 100 ps, thus demonstrating a potential resolving power >10^5 at this wavelength.
