Wavefront aberrations are today the main contribution in the inaccuracy budget of best cold atom interferometers [1, 2], based on laser beam splitters, and constitute an important limit for their long-term stability [1]. They prevent from exploiting the full potential of these atom interferometers. In this work, we report on the active control of laser wavefronts for atom interferometry and demonstrate in a proof-of-principle experiment the compensation of their aberrations using, for the first time, a deformable mirror in a cold atom inertial sensor.

Active Control of Laser Wavefronts in Atom Interferometers

Optical aberrations in light-pulse atom interferometers are a major limitation in the accuracy and stability of these quantum sensors. In a proof-of-principle experiment, the authors use a deformable mirror to actively control the laser wave fronts in a cold-atom gravimeter, compensating for the distortions induced by optical elements. This fine control of wave fronts opens perspectives for atom interferometry, with applications in navigation, space physics, and high-precision metrology.
