In this paper, we develop a new method to adjust the Raman coupling strength by using the relative phase between two pairs of Raman lasers. The stimulated Raman transition process is highly controllable and has the characteristics of multiple degrees of freedom. In experiments on ultracold atoms, the populations of atomic energy levels can be adjusted by taking an appropriate Raman light intensity and interaction time, and by detuning the two-photon frequency. The intensity of the Raman laser is usually changed to adjust the Raman coupling strength. Based on two-level atoms, a new method of accurately controlling the Raman coupling strength by using the relative phase between two pairs of Raman light beams is developed. This technology can achieve coherent manipulation of atomic quantum states, which greatly broadens the ability of ultracold atoms to perform quantum simulations. First, the 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate is realized by using an optical dipole trap. Then, the two pairs of Raman lasers are designed with a special optical path to keep the relative phase of the two pairs of Raman lasers stable in the transmission process, and can be controlled accurately. Then the two pairs of Raman light beams act on the two ground state hyperfine energy levels
$ |1, 1\rangle $ and$ |1, 0\rangle $ of the 87Rb atom. In the experiment, we observe the relation between the percentage of atoms in the two quantum states and the relative phase between the two pairs of Raman light beams. This method provides a unique control parameter for ultracold atom quantum simulation experiments, which is the laser phase. It is hoped that this technology can be used to manipulate the interaction between light and atoms in the future to achieve more abundant physical phenomena.-
