Atom Optics: Beam Splitting and Deflection In the light pulse scheme, photon recoils are used to split and redirect atom beams (waves). p=hk Photon absorption process (p pulse) V=p/m atom light after absorption (p pulse)      deflection (mirror) Superposition state (p/2 pulse) p=hk V=p/m (p/2 pulse)      +   V=0 beam splitter

Atom Interferometer with Light Pulses No acceleration, total phase shift difference is DF = 0 ; With an acceleration g, the phase difference is DF = 2kgT2 where k is the laser wavenumber and T the time interval between laser pulses. t AI as an Accelerometer Atom-wave Mach-Zehnder Interferometer fringes Atomic beam p/2 pulse p/2 pulse p pulse Splitter/mirror functions are accomplished by interaction with laser pulses.

Atom Wave Interference Contrast Loss 500 nm Wave packet T T + T The rate of relative displacement between two separated wave packet is about 7.2 mm/s (two photon recoil). The FWHM time width (140 us) corresponds to 504 nm spatial length over which the interference occurs. What is this length? What determines this length? atom wave packet size or loss of coherence of the atom wave ?

Coherence Length and Wave Packet Size T + T Tvs Longitudinal velocity selection The longitudinal velocity: about 1 m/s, corresponds to 3 nm de Broglie wavelength. Initial velocity selection pulse 240 s; a FWHM sinc function frequency width 5.4 kHz; a velocity group with spread v= 2.3 mm/s. This is the initial wave packet preparation, corresponding to a minimum uncertainty wave packet with spread of 450 nm (if FWHM is used as variance). Dispersion of the atom wave packet: x(t) = (x02 + v2 t2)1/2. At the end of 2T (2 ms), the spread of the wave packet becomes 4.5 m, >> initial 0.45 m. At the point of the interference, the wave packets mostly overlap. The coherence is determined by the initial velocity spread of the atom wave*. * Similar observation and proof were made for neutron matter waves. Ref: Kaiser, H. S., Werner, A. and George, E. A.

Differential Accelerometer (Gravity Gradiometer) Direct gravity measurement requires absolute vibration isolation - due to Einstein’s Equivalence Principle: the frame acceleration can not be distinguished locally from gravitational acceleration.

Automation: slave injection lock control The system uses 12 slave lasers injection-locked to a master laser. The injection locking works within a certain range of slave laser current and temperature. This locking range can be visualized by monitoring the the slave absorption signal: Absorption cells for locking The slave lasers parameters drift, so they need to be repeatedly adjusted to keep the lock reliable at all times. We have developed a software utility monitoring and adjusting the locking range for all 12 slave lasers.
