Raman spectroscopy in a continuous beam from a 2D MOT

Aaron Meldrum, Michael Manicchia, Frank A. Narducci +1 more

Atom interferometers consist of light pulses designed to create coherent superpositions of atomic states (“π/2” or “beam splitting” pulses) and that coherently interchange states (“π” or “mirror” pulses). In this article, we investigate the effects of imperfect pulses for a geometry specific to our apparatus. Atoms emerge from a 2-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D MOT) in a continuous beam and cross continuous laser beams that drive stimulated Raman transitions. We use the atoms’ transit time through the laser field as the “pulse” time. We describe the impact of various effects on the contrast of the Rabi cycling, specifically the longitudinal velocity spread, the laser beam diameter and the spacing between the laser beams.

Theoretical Analyses and Experimental Demonstration of Coherent Splitting of Atomic Wave Packet

XU Xiny

A new method of realizing coherent split of atomic wave packet has been presented in this paper. Due to using Doppler effect and stimulated Raman transition, it Can be applied directly in thermal atomic beam and only needs a single-frequency standing wave laser field. Theoretical analyses show that of both atoms and light field meet some conditions, atomic wave packet will be split coherently after interaction. Finally,the experiment of the atomic beam splitter by using this method is described. The results are in good agreement with the theoretical predication.
