Impact of Raman lasers beam profile inhomogeneities on a spaceborne quantum accelerometer
Benoit Kaczmarczuk, Gabriel Ducasse, Louis Pagot +2
We report on the study of the impact of laser beam profile inhomogeneities on the acceleration measurements of a quantum accelerometer in space. This sensor uses a low ballistic ex…
Stroboscopic Raman Spectroscopy of Atom Optics in Quasi-Bragg Regime
Joel Gomes Baptista, Louis Pagot, Sébastien Merlet +2
Quasi-Bragg regime is a good compromise for large-momentum-transfer atom interferometry, allowing for scaling up the interferometric area, while constraining the population of unwa…
Rejection of wavefront aberrations in an atomic gradiometer
Louis Pagot, Sébastien Merlet, Leonid A Sidorenkov +1
One of the main residual limitations of inertial sensors based on atom interferometry stems from laser beam distortions, which cause parasitic phase shifts and non-homogeneous matt…
Influence of optical aberrations on the accuracy of an atomic gravimeter
Louis Pagot, Sébastien Merlet, Franck Pereira dos Santos
We present numerical simulations of the impact of laser beam wavefront aberrations in cold atom interferometers. We demonstrate that to reach accuracy at the mrad level, simulation…
