Atom interferometry with coherent enhancement of Bragg pulse sequences

Abstract

We report here on the realization of light-pulse atom interferometers with Large-momentum-transfer atom optics based on a sequence of Bragg transitions. We demonstrate momentum splitting up to 200 photon recoils in an ultra-cold atom interferometer. We highlight a new mechanism of destructive interference of the losses leading to a sizeable efficiency enhancement of the beam splitters. We perform a comprehensive study of parasitic interferometers due to the inherent multi-port feature of the quasi-Bragg pulses. Finally, we experimentally verify the phase shift enhancement and characterize the interferometer visibility loss.
