Bragg and Raman diffractions are commonly used in atom interferometry to form beam splitters and mirrors. The two processes differ in their internal state transitions, so their combination enables the creation of novel interferometry topologies through the inclusion of both internal and external states. Here, we present the new fibre-optical laser system capable of implementing both Bragg and Raman processes as well as double diffractions, allowing a wide variety of possibilities to be achieved. Especially for Raman diffraction a low-phase noise implementation for the hyperfine splitting is mandatory. In our system this is realized with a combination of an electro-optical modulator and a fibre Bragg grating, which suppresses the unwanted optical sidebands in the modulation.
