We present a comprehensive mathematical framework for the sequential Bragg technique as a method for large momentum transfer (LMT) atom interferometry, utilizing the Floquet formalism, and draw comparisons with the Bloch oscillation LMT approach. In this analysis, we identify a novel loss formalism arising from complex-valued eigenenergies, which we interpret as losses to the continuum. This framework establishes critical design criteria for optimizing the efficiency and accuracy of LMT techniques. To illustrate the practical implications of our findings, we apply them to a recent state-of-the-art experiment[Rodzinka, T., Dionis, E., Calmels, L. et al.].
