Degenerate optical resonator for the enhancement of large laser beams
Nicolas Mielec, Ranjita Sapam, Constance Poulain +5
Enhancement cavities where a beam of large size (several millimeters) can resonate have several applications, in particular in atomic physics. However, reaching large beam waists i…
Atom Interferometry with Top-Hat Laser Beams
N. Mielec, M. Altorio, R. Sapam +5
The uniformity of the intensity and phase of laser beams is crucial to high-performance atom interferometers. Inhomogeneities in the laser intensity profile cause contrast reductio…
Improving the phase response of an atom interferometer by means of temporal pulse shaping
Bess Fang, Nicolas Mielec, Denis Savoie +3
We study theoretically and experimentally the influence of temporally shaping the light pulses in an atom interferometer, with a focus on the phase response of the interferometer.…
Studies of general relativity with quantum sensors
G. Lefevre, G. Condon, I. Riou +15
We present two projects aiming to probe key aspects of the theory of General Relativity with high-precision quantum sensors. These projects use cold-atom interferometry with the ai…
Exploring gravity with the MIGA large scale atom interferometer
B. Canuel, A. Bertoldi, L. Amand +22
We present an underground long baseline atom interferometer to study gravity at large scale. The hybrid atom-laser antenna will use several atom interferometers simultaneously inte…
A marginally stable optical resonator for enhanced atom interferometry
I. Riou, N. Mielec, G. Lefèvre +6
We propose a marginally stable optical resonator suitable for atom interferometry. The resonator geometry is based on two flat mirrors at the focal planes of a lens that produces t…
MIGA: Combining laser and matter wave interferometry for mass distribution monitoring and advanced geodesy
B. Canuel, S. Pelisson, L. Amand +14
The Matter-Wave laser Interferometer Gravitation Antenna, MIGA, will be a hybrid instrument composed of a network of atom interferometers horizontally aligned and interrogated by t…
