A marginally stable optical resonator for enhanced atom interferometry

Isabelle Riou, N. Mielec, G. Lefèvre +6 more

Abstract We propose a marginally stable optical resonator suitable for atom interferometry. The resonator geometry is based on two flat mirrors at the focal planes of a lens that produces the large beam waist required to coherently manipulate cold atomic ensembles. Optical gains of about 100 are achievable using optics with part-per-thousand losses. The resulting power build-up will allow for enhanced coherent manipulation of the atomic wavepackets such as large separation beamsplitters. We study the effect of longitudinal misalignments and assess the robustness of the resonator in terms of intensity and phase profiles of the intra-cavity field. We also study how to implement atom interferometry based on large momentum transfer Bragg diffraction in such a cavity.Abstract We propose a marginally stable optical resonator suitable for atom interferometry.

A large mode optical resonator for enhanced atom interferometry

The development of atom interferometry in the last few decades has led to high precision measurements of inertial effects and tests of fundamental physics. New methods for higher sensitivity atom interferometers (AIs) are being explored, particularly the interrogation of atoms with optical cavities [1]. Its benefits would be higher optical power allowing large momentum transfer beam splitters, and possibly cleaner and controlled phase profiles. However high sensitivity AIs require long interrogation times, which combined with cold atom expansion, bring the challenges of large waists in cavities.The development of atom interferometry in the last few decades has led to high precision measurements of inertial effects and tests of fundamental physics.
