Randomized trial demonstrates precise control of atomic launch direction in cold atomic clouds, suggesting simpler methods for calibration.

This research aims to develop a method for controlling the launch velocity vector of cold atomic clouds more accurately.
Independently adjusted the relative detuning of three pairs of orthogonal counter-propagating laser beams.
Conducted experimental verification using an 87Rb atomic fountain clock.
Evaluated spatial distribution via horizontal velocity scanning and corrected tilt deviation.
Achieved launch direction angles less than 0.1 mrad compared to the central axis.
Velocity fluctuation under 3% laser power resulted in long-term instability of 62 μm/s over 5000 s.
Demonstrated significant application potential for cold atomic precision instruments.
