Twin-lattice atom interferometry is a method for forming symmetric interferometers with matter waves of large relative momentum by using two optical lattices propagating in opposite directions. A limiting factor is the loss of contrast associated with the AC Stark shift of far detuned light fields. This contribution presents the realization of a high power laser system for absolute light shift compensation and its potential for enhancing the interferometric contrast. The optical setup relies on two independent frequency doubling stages. One cavity produces the needed light fields for twin-lattice interferometry and another one produces one light field for AC Stark compensation.
Key features are the beam overlap on an interference filter with low power loss and coupling of high optical power in a photonic crystal fiber and further collimation of the output profile with flat-top beamshaper. The final beam contains the three linearly polarized light fields. Thanks to the flat-top shaped beam with more uniform intensity distribution it can be passed through our apertures with significantly less diffraction effects.
