Atom interferometry based on Raman diffraction is a well-proven tool for precise measurements of gravity, rotation, and fundamental constants. While in free fall, Raman diffraction using a two photon process occurs in a single direction, under vanishing atomic velocity so-called symmetric double diffraction occurs by scattering four photons of a retro-reflected laser beam. We report on a novel realization of a compact and highly integrated laser system based on established telecom fiber technology, electro-optic modulation and frequency doubling for Raman double diffraction of 87Rb atoms. We efficiently drive Raman diffraction with this laser system and perform high contrast atom interferometry using delta-kick collimated condensed atoms generated on an atom chip.
