The Role of Source Coherence in Atom Interferometery
Kyle S. Hardman, Carlos C. N. Kuhn, Gordon D. McDonald +4
The role of source cloud spatial coherence in a Mach-Zehnder type atom interferometer is experimentally investigated. The visibility and contrast of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC…
Space-Time Area in Atom Interferometry
Gordon D. McDonald, Carlos C. N. Kuhn
It is a commonly stated that the acceleration sensitivity of an atom interferometer is proportional to the space-time area enclosed between the two interfering arms. Here we derive…
A faster scaling in acceleration-sensitive atom interferometers
Gordon D. McDonald, Carlos C. N. Kuhn, Shayne Bennetts +4
Atom interferometers have been used to measure acceleration with at best a scaling in sensitivity as the interferometer time is increased. This limits the sensitivity to…
80hk Momentum Separation with Bloch Oscillations in an Optically Guided Atom Interferometer
Gordon D. McDonald, Carlos C. N. Kuhn, Shayne Bennetts +5
We demonstrate phase sensitivity in a horizontally guided, acceleration-sensitive atom interferometer with a momentum separation of 80hk between its arms. A fringe visibility of 7%…
