Coherence of the two-level atom bichromatic beam splitter

S. Choi, Howard M. Wiseman, S. M. Tan +1 more

The recently proposed two-level atom bichromatic beam splitter has been shown theoretically to give exceptionally clean beam splitting in momentum space. In this paper, we investigate the first-order coherence property of this beam splitter, which is an important test of its usefulness in interferometric applications. We find that the beam splitter exhibits maximum fringe visibility of 0.3, which may be increased significantly through conditioning on certain variables. We then propose a type of atom interferometer based on this system, which has many desirable properties when compared with existing versions.

Coherent beam splitter for atoms based on a bichromatic standing light wave

Rudolf Grimm, Yu. B. Ovchinnikov, Johannes Söding

We propose a new coherent atomic beam splitter that is based on the induced redistribution of photons in the intense field of two collinear standing waves with different frequencies. In the dressed-atom approach, we show that this scheme can provide a clear large-angle splitting into two components without being restricted to the Raman-Nath regime.
