Ramsey spectroscopy via coherent population trapping (CPT) is essential in precision measurements. The conventional CPT-Ramsey fringes contain numbers of almost identical oscillations and so that it is difficult to identify the central fringe. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a temporal spinwave Fabry-Pérot interferometry via double-$Λ$ CPT of laser-cooled $^{87}$Rb atoms. Due to the constructive interference of temporal spinwaves, the transmission spectrum appears as a comb of equidistant peaks in frequency domain and thus the central Ramsey fringe can be easily identified. From the optical Bloch equations for our five-level double-$Λ$ system, the transmission spectrum is analytically explained by the Fabry-Pérot interferometry of temporal spinwaves. Due to small amplitude difference between the two Landé factors, each peak splits into two when the external magnetic field is not too weak. This peak splitting can be employed to measure an unknown magnetic field without involving magneto-sensitive transitions.
