Observation of Extra Photon Recoil in a Distorted Optical Field
Satyanarayana Bade, Lionel Djadaojee, Manuel Andia +2
Light carries momentum which induces on atoms a recoil for each photon absorbed. In vacuum, for a monochromatic beam of frequency , the global momentum per photon is bounded by…
Large Momentum Beamsplitter using Bloch Oscillations
Pierre Cladé, Saïda Guellati-Khélifa, François Nez +1
The sensitivity of an inertial sensor based on an atomic interfermometer is proportional to the velocity separation of atoms in the two arms of the interferometer. In this paper we…
Combination of Bloch oscillations with a Ramsey-Bordé interferometer : new determination of the fine structure constant
Malo Cadoret, Estefania De Mirandes, Pierre Cladé +5
We report a new experimental scheme which combines atom interferometry with Bloch oscillations to provide a new measurement of the ratio . By using Bloch oscilla…
Proposal for new experimental schemes to realize the Avogadro constant
F. Biraben, M. Cadoret, P. Clad +7
We propose two experimental schemes to determine and so to realize the Avogadro constant at the level of 10 or better with a watt balance experiment and a cold atom…
A new determination of the fine structure constant based on Bloch oscillations of ultracold atoms in a vertical optical lattic
Pierre Cladé, Estefania De Mirandes, Malo Cadoret +5
We report an accurate measurement of the recoil velocity of Rb atoms based on Bloch oscillations in a vertical accelerated optical lattice. We transfer about 900 recoil momenta wit…
Bloch oscillations of ultracold atoms: a tool for a metrological determination of
Remy Battesti, Pierre Clade, Saida Guellati-Khelifa +5
We use Bloch oscillations in a horizontal moving standing wave to transfer a large number of photon recoils to atoms with a high efficiency (99.5% per cycle). By measuring the phot…
