A modulated mirror for atomic interferometry
C. Henkel, A. M. Steane, R. Kaiser +1
A novel atomic beam splitter, using reflection of atoms off an evanescent light wave, is investigated theoretically. The intensity or frequency of the light is modulated in order t…

Atomic diffraction by a thin phase grating
C. Henkel, J. -Y. Courtois, A. Aspect
We present a semiclassical perturbation method for the description of atomic diffraction by a weakly modulated potential. It proceeds in a way similar to the treatment of light dif…
