Gravitational-wave Detection With Matter-wave Interferometers Based On Standing Light Waves
arXiv:1103.4897 · doi:10.1007/s10714-011-1173-y
Abstract
We study the possibility of detecting gravitational-waves with matter-wave interferometers, where atom beams are split, deflected and recombined totally by standing light waves. Our calculation shows that the phase shift is dominated by terms proportional to the time derivative of the gravitational wave amplitude. Taking into account future improvements on current technologies, it is promising to build a matter-wave interferometer detector with desired sensitivity.
