Abstract

In a resonance generation method, a Ramsey resonance is generated by repeating a first period and a second period. In the first period, an atomic cell, in which an alkali metal atom is accommodated and a hydrocarbon film is disposed on an inner wall, is irradiated with light having a first intensity while sweeping a center frequency within a sweep range, and a center frequency of light with which the atomic cell is to be irradiated in a next first period is determined based on a light intensity signal obtained by detecting light transmitted through the atomic cell. In the second period, an intensity of light incident on the atomic cell is reduced as compared with the first intensity.
