Optimizing beam-splitter pulses for atom interferometry: a geometric approach

Nikolaos Dedes, Jack Saywell, Max Carey +2

We present a methodology for the design of optimal Raman beam-splitter pulses suitable for cold atom inertial sensors. The methodology, based on time-dependent perturbation theory,…

Velocimetry of cold atoms by matterwave interferometry

Max Carey, Jack Saywell, David Elcock +2

We present an elegant application of matterwave interferometry to the velocimetry of cold atoms whereby, in analogy to Fourier transform spectroscopy, the 1-D velocity distribution…
