Single-pulse large momentum transfer with double Raman diffraction — •Sabrina Hartmann, Jens Jenewein, Albert Roura, Wolfgang P. Schleich, and the QUANTUS team — Institut für Quantenphysik and Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology (IQST), Universität Ulm
Large momentum transfer (LMT) pulses are a topic of current interest in atom interferometry since a large interferometric area leads to an increased sensitivity and are often realized by a multiple-pulse sequence [1]. Here we present a theoretical analysis of double Raman beam splitters in a retroreflective geometry. Specifically, we focus on a scheme that generates a momentum-space splitting of 12ℏk between both arms by a single pulse. Thus, the area is increased by two effects: double diffraction and higher-order diffraction. Moreover, we present a numerical study that investigates fidelity, diffraction efficiency and the influence of Stark shifts. Finally, we compare these results to already existing configurations using Bragg diffraction [2,3].
